When to Go

The best times to visit Memphis are the temperate seasons of spring and autumn; these are also the most scenic seasons. Spring is lush with fresh blooms and high rivers, and colorful autumn foliage covers upland woodlands in October. Many Memphis special events are held during these seasons, including the giant Memphis In May festival.

Memphis has a generally moderate, fairly sunny climate. Summers can get pretty warm, with a 27°C (80°F) average temperature compounded by some solid humidity. Winter averages temperatures around 10°C (50°F), with January and February being the chilliest.
