Climate Insight: Crossville ED & Research, TN

The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Crossville ED & Research, Tennessee as a location with an annual average temperature of 54°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 63°F to a mean daily low of 44°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USC00402202, smooth out year-to-year variability and give a baseline expectation for typical conditions in any given month.

Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Crossville ED & Research receives roughly 62.6 inches of precipitation each year, with 14.1 inches typically falling as snow. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate, with the last spring freeze near April 19 and the first fall freeze near October 22. For energy use, 4,825 heating degree days and 731 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Crossville ED & Research scores 47/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows — shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for July-driven heat, or deep winter for January-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
