For some reason, I decided to look at a year long (2021) weather forecast for this area of East TN and was rather surprised by what I found... even though the forecast was referring to averages which obviously means that the temps could go up or down.
- 3 months the temps will be below 60 degrees -- 2 months the temps will be below 50 degrees but by no more than 1-2 degrees
- 3 months the temps will be in the 60 degrees
- 2 months the temps will be in the 70 degrees
- 4 months the temps will be in the 80 degrees of which 2 months will be high 80's
Now...
We all know that there will be a few days in this area where the temps will be in the 30's and quite possibly even below that... just as we all know that for a few days the temps will be in the 90's and quite possibly higher than that... but, on the average, these are the temps for the next 12 months here in the Tennessee Valley.
