Weather by month
Nashville
Tennessee
A proper four-season city where spring arrives loud and stormy, summer sits heavy, and winter mostly threatens more than it delivers.
The best time to come
October is the clean answer — dry, gold, and comfortable from morning to last call — with September close behind. April and May are wetter but come with dogwoods, the Steeplechase, and a music calendar that never sits still.
