The Knoxville-Smoky Mountains Region residents enjoy a moderate climate with four distinct seasons. Extended periods of extremely hot or cold weather are exceedingly rare, creating an ideal environment for living. Given below are temperature averages and ranges for the valley areas:
Of course, these general patterns are affected by topography: the higher mountain areas have climates with milder summers as well as colder, more blustery winters. The length of the growing season is also linked to topography: most of East Tennessee has a growing season between 180 and 220 days, but this drops 130 days in the highest mountains. The average rainfall in the valley is 48 inches. The highest peaks in the Great Smoky Mountains can experience as much as 80 inches of rainfall. The valley areas average about 12 inches of snow per year. The amount at higher elevations will be higher- up to 84 inches at Mr. LeConte, for example.

The eastern border of the state is dominated by the Great Smoky Mountains, with numerous peaks rising 4000' to 6000' above sea level.
