Weather Conditions


Although Louisville experiences four distinct seasons (average summer temperature 88 degrees; average winter temperature 37 degrees; 43 inches of annual precipitation), summer tends to come quicker while fall lasts longer, and the relatively short winters bring more rain than snow. March is usually the wettest month; October the driest. For average highs, lows and rainfall visit www.weather.com/weather/climatology/monthly/40202.
