Wouldn’t it be great to soak up a little more sunshine? Well, get ready, Nashville, because there’s plenty of it on the way!
Mark Your Calendars!
The official first day of spring falls on March 20, but you can start feeling those spring vibes much earlier! Beginning on February 8, Nashville will be gaining over two extra minutes of daylight each day. Can you imagine? That sweet little taste of sunshine is going to pile up quick!
How Much More Daylight?
Throughout the month of February, our beloved city will accumulate nearly one hour of extra daylight. This is indeed something to cheer about! To give you a clearer picture, the sunrise will change from 6:33 a.m. on February 1 to a bright and early 6:01 a.m. on February 28. And let’s talk about sunsets, too.

Daylight in Perspective
It’s interesting to note that regions closer to the North Pole experience a different scenario altogether. In fact, places near Canada can add over 80 minutes of daylight in February! That makes Nashville’s increase seem modest, but it’s still a significant change for us. February has the third-largest increase in daylight, right behind the glorious months of March and April.
The Days Just Keep Getting Brighter
If you think February’s increases are impressive, wait until March arrives! Across all of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky, more than an hour of daylight will be added. Just in time for longer days filled with outdoor fun and excitement!
Get Ready for Warmer Weather
With all this talk about daylight, let’s not forget about the temperatures! On average, Nashville’s temperatures are anticipated to rise from 40°F on February 1 up to 47°F by February 28. The average high temperature is also expected to increase from 51°F to 58°F during this period. Wow, that sure sounds a lot better than those chilly winter days!
What About the Weather Forecast?
However, it’s not all sunshine and warm breezes just yet. The Climate Prediction Center has forecast cooler-than-normal temperatures for the second half of February. So while we get to enjoy more daylight and mild temperatures, make sure to keep an eye on that weather report just in case you need to bundle up a bit more!
