The Southeast Regional Climate Center (SERCC), established in March 1989 and based at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is one of the six regional climate centers in the United States. Serving Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, SERCC's mission is to deliver timely, high-quality climate data and information tailored to the needs of both public and private users in the region.

With a focus on improving regional climate services, SERCC offers a variety of tools and services, such as the Climate Perspectives Tool (CLIMPER) and the NOAA's NOWData platform, which provides detailed weather reports and historical data. The center also hosts interactive maps, climate reports, and serves as a hub for understanding climate impacts on agriculture and health. Through its commitment to effective communication and collaboration, SERCC plays a vital role in addressing regional climate issues and disseminating crucial climate information, making it an essential resource for the Southeast.
