Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

When people think of the South, they assume that it is a beautiful and constantly sunny and comfortable climate. I’m not sure if it’s a propaganda move by the University, but every freshman seems to be under that impression. Judging weather is never a sure thing, however. One freshman student summed it up best in describing the weather as “totally menopausal but still better than any place up north.” It’s not out of the ordinary for one day to be sunny and 70 degrees, while news stations are forecasting snow later in the week.

Overall, the weather in Nashville is actually very good— there are noticeable seasons, but none of them are overly extreme or oppressive. Make sure to bring at least one warm winter coat for the short snow season. Also, be sure to bring a big umbrella—it rains cats and dogs here.

Bipolar Weather

Nashville's weather is the craziest weather I have ever seen. One day it is sunny and warm, the next it is snowing. Also, be prepared for snow! It snows here and it gets VERY cold. But other than that, the weather isn't all that bad.

Bi-Polar

The weather here is beautiful, but you'll need to like it warm. It tends to get humid and rains decently often. Also, if you like snow, Nashville is not the place for you: we get ice.

Nashvile Weather Has Mood Swings!

The entire world's weather is going crazy because of global warming. This winter was much less harsh than the past three years, but Nashville will still fluctuate 25 degrees in a day. Spring is beautiful (awful allergies and a good amount of rain), summer is HOT and SWEATY, fall is wonderful, and winter can get cold (rarely snows).
