Louisville? A warmer climate than Lexington? Hmmm......I would have thought that Louisville and Lexington had the same climate, given that both are located in the warm temperate/humid subtropical climate of Kentuckyguess I might be mistaken and climate can vary, even within the same State

Louisville is at lower elevation than Lexington, but also has some moderation from the Ohio River, so definitely warmer nights, at least in summer

Highs are also warmer year round. Although you are right that the difference is more pronounced in summer.

The main difference between the two is that Louisville has a massive urban heat island at the "official observation station," the International Airport. Lexington can have cooler lows at various times of the year.

Currently temperatures are running at late February or early March levels, forecasters are predicting highs around 60F for Tuesday, with a slight risk for a few strong t-storms on Tuesday before much colder air filters back into the area for the rest of the week

Tell City is rural, but Louisville will have warmer lows overall compared to Tell City.
