Weather in Nashville in November

A good month. November works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs average 15.5 °C, lows 3.6 °C, and rain falls on 9 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 5 of 12 in Nashville: past the worst of the year but short of October, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 9 days, 4 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 15.5 °C days and 3.6 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 8 nights fall below freezing. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 31 °C and the coldest night fell to -11.5 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 67 mm — roughly 67% of the month's rain in one day.

November is statistically steady but not small: the year-to-year variation is modest in relative terms, yet the wettest November on record still delivered 172 mm against 27 mm in the driest. In a month this wet, even a tame spread is a lot of rain in absolute terms — the 100 mm average is a reasonable planning figure, not a promise.

Wind is light at 6.3 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 76%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 7.1 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 5.6 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

10.3 hours of daylight, losing 0.8 hours across the month. That is between Nashville's extremes of 14.6 and 9.7 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 34.3 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself. November is the value pick for Nashville: it scores within 14 points of October without carrying October's prices.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

November in Nashville versus nearby

If Nashville is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Huntsville is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Louisville is the weaker option in November — 2.5 °C cooler, 1 day more rain.

So: November works, with October the better month by 14 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
