The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 83°F around July 21, short of 90°F on every date, while 84 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 26°F near January 17.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 26, then returns to freezing around December 5, covering 84 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is December 22, when 43% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is October 1 at 28%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 140 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 23 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Crossville Mem Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 58 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Days and nights track unusually close together; the widest normal swing, about 23°F, is narrower than most stations record.
Crossville Mem earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Crossville Mem spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 24% of the annual total and December through February 27%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Crossville Mem has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 38.5°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: April averages 5.5" and October 3.1". The three wettest months together take 28% of the year, against the 25% a perfectly flat distribution would give them.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. "Spread across the year" means neither the June-August nor the December-February share reaches 35%; it describes an average year, not the variability of any single one.
When it rains in Crossville Mem, it arrives in quantity
57.5" of precipitation falls across only about 140 wet days here, averaging 0.41 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 140 a year, 38% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.41 inches
- Most wet days
- December, about 13
- Fewest wet days
- October, about 9
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.

Data-derived climate profile
How Crossville Mem's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Crossville Mem's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,394 annual heating degree days against 890 for cooling. Its 38.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Crossville Mem's frost-free season lasts about 190 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Crossville Mem's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 38.5°F. The annual average is 55°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Crossville Mem carries 57.5 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Crossville Mem's primary station, so the winter figures are a thirty-year average and not a floor: a single hard season can run well below them. Treat each band as a descriptive range for Crossville Mem, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Crossville Mem's primary station: CROSSVILLE MEM AP (USW00003847). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Crossville Mem; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Crossville Mem comes from its primary NOAA station record.
