We know the question on your mind, Music City — when’s it going to get cool? Thanks to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center, we know what temperatures and precipitation trends to expect in our city for September, October, and November.

While exact weather conditions typically can’t be predicted more than a week in advance, here’s a seasonal outlook to help you prepare for what fall will bring.

Reminder: The first day of fall is on Sunday, Sept. 22.

Temperature

Think warm. This fall, Nashville has a 40-50% chance of temperatures being higher than normal.

Precipitation

Things could go... either way. This fall, Nashville has an equal chance of precipitation being above or below normal.

Sunny September

Typically in Nashville, September’s temperatures fluctuate between an average low of 62.8° and an average high of 81.5°, but expect to see more of those 80° days this year. September also has an average daily maximum UV index of 5 and poses a moderate health risk, so don’t slack on the sunscreen.

An outdoor October

In October, the average high and low temps are between 69.8° and 50.7°. This is the city’s least humid month — we’re already sighing with relief. Take advantage of the agreeable temps with a visit to area pumpkin patches and corn mazes.

November numbers

Historically, average highs in November drop ~12° to 57.4°, with an average low of 40.3°. It’s also usually the first month past summer to see any snowfall — but with a greater chance of high temps this year, that isn’t likely to happen. Set your reminders because daylight saving time ends on Sunday, Nov. 3 at 2 a.m.
