October Drought and November Outlook: Robertson County Weather Forecast
ROBERTSON COUNTY, Tenn.: (Smoky Barn News) – As October draws to a close, Robertson County finds itself in a dry spell, with no precipitation recorded since September. In a normal year, the county receives an average of 3 to 3.5 inches of rain during this month, but this year’s unusual weather patterns have raised concerns about the impact on local agriculture and the environment.
With the possibility of El Niño on the horizon, the coming months could bring even more weather fluctuations, leaving residents and farmers alike wondering what the transition to winter will be like. .

–It hasn’t rained since the end of last month in October this year. The average precipitation in our county is approximately 3 to 3.5 inches per month.
Based on what has been observed in the Pacific Ocean, El Niño has a 60% chance of occurring in November. El Niño is a climate pattern that affects the weather in the United States. When an El Niño event occurs, warm water moves to the U.S. West Coast and the jet stream moves south, potentially bringing more moisture to the region.
El Niño usually ends in December. A 60% chance is not a guarantee, but if the rain develops, it could bring more rain to the southern United States and leave middle Tennessee dry.
We expect less rain than usual in November and December. Temperatures are also higher than normal. In Robertson County, average temperatures in November are typically in the mid-60s, but drop about 10 degrees later in the month, with nights cooling into the 30s and 40s. In the past, we’ve seen snow on Halloween and a sharp drop in temperatures by Thanksgiving, but they often warm up quickly afterwards.
This year, rain is expected to arrive on Halloween night and possibly Friday morning, followed by a return to dry, warm weather in Robertson County. Thanksgiving looks like it will be warmer than usual.
This year’s weather pattern is very different from previous years. Plants respond by producing less than usual during this time of year. Your gardens and fields will probably be affected by spring. Many farms performed poorly this summer and fall, with farmers reporting reduced profits from their crops.
