Nashville has a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and generally mild winters. At Nashville International Airport, the 1991-2020 reference averages range from a daily high of 49°F (10°C) in Jan to 91°F (33°C) in Jul. Monthly precipitation averages sum to 50.5 inches (1283 mm) per year.
Nashville sits on the edge of Dixie Alley, with severe weather peaking from March through May and again in a secondary late-fall window, and many of its tornadoes strike after dark. Summer is hot and humid with scattered storms. Flash flooding is a year-round threat; the May 2010 flood dropped more than 13 inches of rain in two days. Winters are mostly mild and wet, though occasional ice and light snow can snarl the city.
Downtown and East Nashville have taken direct hits from significant tornadoes three times (in 1933, 1998, and 2020) and the March 2020 EF3 crossed the 1998 tornado's path in the Five Points neighborhood shortly after midnight.
Local Planning Guide
The March-May severe weather peak, a secondary November tornado window, and warm-season flash-flood setups are when Nashville forecasts need the most attention.
Many Middle Tennessee tornadoes arrive at night in fast-moving storms, so audible warning alerts and quick radar checks matter more in Nashville than in most US cities.
