Greeneville climate
Warm humid summers, rain, cool winters, occasional snow, and changing foothill weather shape the year
NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals for the Greeneville Experimental Station show January average high and low temperatures of 47.6 and 25.5 degrees Fahrenheit and July averages of 87.3 and 64.9. The station gives the household a labeled local reference for four seasons, while a particular home can differ with slope, shade, drainage, and elevation.
Inspect heating, air conditioning, insulation, windows, roof, gutters, drainage, basement, slope, trees, shade, water, power, internet, insurance, steps, and the route to care. Keep parks, trails, meals, errands, and indoor choices available when rain, heat, or winter weather changes the day.

What may work well
- NOAA provides a labeled local temperature reference.
- The hospital, parks, walking routes, historic park, meals, and indoor home options give the year several anchors.
What to think about
- The station describes typical conditions rather than a property forecast.
- Heating, cooling, rain, drainage, slope, power, insurance, and regional care require attention.
