Why hasn't Nashville hit 90° yet this year?
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Memorial Day is the unofficial start to summer, and summer in Tennessee historically means high heat and high humidity. In previous years, nearly every day has been in the 90s with feels-like temperatures in the triple-digits. So far in 2025, we've had plenty of humidity and not much heat. Nashville has yet to reach the 90s, and there are no 90s in the forecast for the rest of May. This will be the first time since 2013 that Nashville won't record a temperature of 90° or higher before June. Middle Tennessee is experiencing one of the wettest starts to a year on record In Nashville, on average, our first 90° day is May 27, but the city has hit 90° as early as April 9. Music City averages about two days in the 90s each May, and the most is 16 days, which occurred in 1962. Temperatures in the 90s during May have been abundant in recent years. Last year, Nashville reached the 90s twice. In 2022, Nashville recorded eight days of 90° or higher in May. In 2019, there were 10 days with temperatures in the 90s. The craziest part is that cities in North Dakota and Minnesota have already reached the 90s this year. Earlier this month, Fargo, North Dakota reached 95°! Minneapolis and Chicago have also made it to at least 90°. News 2's extended forecast doesn't include any temperatures in the 90s, but the forecast for Tuesday, June 3 is for 89°, so our stretch of no 90s will likely end next month. It may be hard to believe, but Nashville has gone the entire month of May and June without reaching the 90s. In 1893, Nashville didn't reach the 90° mark until July 5! The reason we haven't reached the 90s in places like Nashville is due to how active our weather has been. All the days with cloudy skies reflect the sun's energy back into space, keeping us cool. Want the forecast delivered directly to your inbox? Sign up for the News 2 Forecast Newsletter All the rain we have seen has also saturated the ground and the air. When the air is humid, it takes more energy to warm up. On the few sunny days Nashville has seen this spring, the warmest we could get was the mid-80s, thanks to the high humidity. Earlier in May, abnormally dry conditions and a warm south wind caused temperatures to reach the 90s as far north as Fargo, North Dakota. Some places in Texas and the desert southwest are also very dry, allowing for temperatures to easily surpass 90 °. If you like the heat, don't worry. Nashville typically reaches the 90s more than 50 days each year.
