Middle Tennessee is experiencing one of the wettest starts to a year on record
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Tennessee has felt like a rainforest lately. Nashville has recorded rainfall on a total of 16 days during the month of May, and April was one of the wettest on record.

In March, Nashville recorded 5.40″, in April 8.43″, and so far in May, Music City has seen 8.06″ of rain. April was the 6th wettest of record, and May is on track for being the 10th wettest. It's not just the spring months; Nashville recorded 6.05″ in February! January is the only month in 2025 that Nashville saw below normal rainfall. With all this rainfall, Nashville is currently experiencing the 6th wettest start to a year on record. RADAR | Track weather across TN live These rainfall numbers are even more impressive considering we are in the wettest time of the year. Nashville's wettest month is May, followed by April, then March. Spring is Middle Tennessee's wettest time of the year, but we can see a lot of rain any time of the year. Unlike other parts of the country and world, we don't have a wet or dry season. This is why Nashville sees much more rain each year than a city like Seattle, Washington, which is known for being wet. In Seattle, it does rain nearly every day in the winter months, but from May through September, rain is rare. In the month of July, Seattle sees less than an inch of rain on average. For the entire year, Nashville's average rainfall is more than 50″, while Seattle's is less than 40″. Our summer would be dry like Seattle if it weren't for the high humidity. Humid air from the Gulf extends over the eastern half of the US, allowing for thunderstorms in the summer. These summertime thunderstorms are what keep us out of drought.
