Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Murfreesboro has every type of weather possible. It snows once or twice in the winter, it hails several times a year, and wind and rain take over as soon as the cold takes hold. Tornadoes occur in the spring, and earthquakes register occasionally here. Even vicious hurricanes have made their way to Tennessee. But on average, it’s very pleasant here. The weather is generally warm and humid in the summer, and it seems as if there is no wind at all. However, once it gets cold, the weather turns wet and windy. Rain gear will be your best friend in the miserable winter months. On the bright side, winter is brief and kills off the previous season’s insect population.

There is a saying in Tennessee that if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute, and it will change. This is true. Since Tennessee is the dividing state for the jet stream, it can be 80 degrees in the morning, then it could be sleeting by 5 p.m. Students can get away from the hot temperatures by going into the Great Smoky Mountains near Gatlinburg, where the temperatures can be 20 degrees cooler in the shady elevations. In the winter, hibernation is a must. Cabin fever and seasonal affective disorder can be a problem, and the best cure is a trip somewhere warm and sunny.

The Weather Is Pretty Uniform...

The weather in the middle Tennessee area seems to be pretty uniform. Rain only tends to be a problem in the spring, but it keeps the campus green and healthy. Rumors call for ice over snow in the winter, but I have not witnessed it yet.

I Moved to TN from Chicago and Am LOVING the Sun

This winter it barely snowed at all and was only cold for about 2 months. A light jacket will suffice!

It Is Normal

Tennessee weather is sporadic. One day it can be nice, and the next not so nice. It can be windy, cold, and raining, but then 24 hours later, it could be sunny and really hot.
