Climate

Situated in the center of middle Tennessee
on the Cumberland River, Nashville is rimmed
on three sides by an escarpment rising three
to four hundred feet (Elevation is 550 feet
at lowest point and 1,100 feet at highest
point.). Nashville's climate is moderate,
with seasonal variation rarely lapsing into
temperature extremes. Its humidity is also
considered moderate for the Southeast
(average humidity is 58%). Precipitation is
heaviest in winter and early spring, though
when it falls in the form of snow it is
seldom disruptive (average annual
precipitation is 48.4 inches).
Fall is a celebrated time throughout
Tennessee. Visitors come from all over to
see the annual changing of the leaves in
mid-October. Days are warm and pleasant, but
evenings are cool, requiring a sweater or
light jacket. Temperatures range between 40
to 80 degrees.
