We know the question on your mind, Music City — when’s it going to get hot? 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 June, July, and August.

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 summer will bring.

Reminder: The first day of summer is on Thursday, June 20.

Temperature

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

Precipitation

Expect slightly more precipitation. Nashville has a 33-40% chance of seeing above normal rainfall amounts this summer.

June

School’s out and it’s time to hit the pool with an average high temperature of 87° and an average low of 65°, but it’s going to feel hotter. The average heat index is 96°, so it’s important to stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade and indoors in the A/C. It could be rainier than normal this month, so pack your umbrella when going to outdoor events.

July

Typically in Nashville, July’s temperatures fluctuate between an average low of 70° and an average high of 90°, making it the hottest month. The average heat index comes out to about 104°. If the thought of that makes you sweat, it’s also helpful to note that July is the summer month with the most rainfall.

August

On average, temperatures in August are very similar to July. The average high is 89° and the average low temperature is 68°. Temperatures likely won’t significantly cool until October, so keep this list of local museums handy if you need a break from the heat.

The Germantown neighborhood is poised for its first traditional hotel property, according to a 24-page document submitted to Metro.

Plans call for an eight-story hotel near Morgan Park at 1500 3rd Ave. N. If the project is approved, the 260-room development will incorporate two food and bev components — a restaurant and patio at the corner of Van Buren Street and 3rd Avenue North + another concept off of 2nd Avenue.

The project will be led by North Point Hospitality, which has developed three hotels in the area.

The results are in, and we’re so Nashville

Earlier this week, we used geopsychology — a study that says where you live might impact your personality — to determine how the typical Nashvillian acts. According to the personality maps, we tend to be social, agreeable, conscientious, and emotionally stable.

Over 150 of you took our Nashville Personality Test to see if your own personality matches that of Music City (and for many, it does). We also asked you to share an extra personality trait that you think is unique to Nashville. Here’s what y’all had to say:

“Niceness. I work at BNA and everybody that comes through always says how nice we are compared to other airports in the country.”

“Flexibility! Our city has navigated unprecedented growth and all the challenges that come with it. Residents have had to be adaptable and flexible in order to properly honor the old and make room for the new.”

“Collaborative. People in Nashville tend to work well together, even if they work at competing firms.”
