Located at about 36 degrees north latitude--roughly halfway between the Great Lakes and Mexico—Nashville has a pleasantly moderate climate with four distinct seasons. Temperatures aren't excessive either way over prolonged periods of time. There's a long growing season with ample rain (annual average is around 47 inches) to keep the city lushly green. Yet, there are still plenty of clear, sun-filled days (102 clear days on the average and 106 that are partly cloudy). Snowfall is a scenic passing novelty celebrated by Nashvillians by runs on the supermarkets much as if the city were under siege.

Most of the trees lose their leaves in the fall, but there are a lot of evergreens (particularly giant magnolias) that lend color to the gray cityscape in the winter.
