Review of Morristown, Tennessee


Hot and Humid
Star Rating - 12/18/2006
I’ve lived in Morristown, Tennessee for the last 5 years. It only has what I consider to be 3 seasons; spring, summer, and fall. What passes for winter here is daytime temperatures in the 45 to 50 range. Snowfall is almost nonexistent and will usually melt by mid-morning.

What is Morristown does have is hot and HUMID summers. Summer is in full swing by May with highs in the 80’s and humidity 85% and above. June, July, and August are miserable with temperatures in the high 80 to low 90’s and humidity 95% or greater. My wife and I pretty avoid outdoor activities and pretty much stay inside with the A/C going.

However, September to April is quite pleasant and the mild temperatures allow for many outdoor activities of which the area has many. With no winter, one can walk, run, hike, bike, backpack, canoe, fish, etc right from September to April.

Jason, What state did you come from? Tennessee is more humid that other states, however there is a trade off in living in Tennessee. We are not a beacon of Culture, however we have the mountains, lakes, low cost of living, no state income tax, friendly people, mild winters.....I will trade the humidity for the other benefits...How about you?
