Weather in Nashville area (relocating to, place, humidity)

[lovingmy4]

Hey everyone,

My family is seriously considering relocating to the Nashville area and I have a few questions about the weather. Is it very windy there? I know there are 4 seasons but are they in the typical seasonal pattern? For example, spring being March, April, May; summer is June, July, August; Fall is September, October....you get the picture. Or are there any seasons that are particularly long (like winter at almost 8,000 ft. in Colorado; Oct. -May) or short? Does that area get many thunderstorms? And how about sunny days? My husband suffers from a mild case of SAD; consequently the Pacific Northwest is out of the question for us. Will that be the case in Tennessee as well? How is the humidity? And are there many days in summer that are over 90 degrees?

Thanks so much for any information you can give.

The weather in TN can be all over the place. Temperatures and weather can vary wildly from day to day in the fall, early spring, and summer. Weather can also be really different from year to year. For the last several years, the winters have been short and unusually mild peppered with some very cold days. Speaking in classic typical TN weather terms, cold weather typically starts in October and lasts as long as March-early April. But it isn't reliably cold throughout the whole time. Some days in Jan can actually be warm. Some days in April can be in the 20's with snow.

Summers can be very humid and hot. The extreme over 90 degree weather happens from late June to Late August, sometimes into Sept. Rain is pretty frequent and can sometimes last for weeks on end. There can also be long dry spells that happen at any given time.

Anyhow, to sum it up- TN has no real predictable weather patterns. There is a winter and summer, but freakishly warm and cold weather are normal occurrences.
