Question
How is the weather expected to be?
Answer
May is starting to get pleasantly warm, with average highs in the mid-70s and average lows around 50. This is when spring truly takes over. The venue grounds are a verdant green and blossoms are abundant. You’ll also see outstanding wildflower displays on the forest floor and a slew of birds migrating through. In June, an offshore South Atlantic high-pressure system, the Bermuda High, strongly influences Smoky Mountain weather. Warm and moist air streams contribute to the iconic haze that gives the Great Smokies their name. Emerald green is the color that marks summertime in Nantahala. Flowers in the gardens around the venue are bursting their showy heads.
