Clarksdale Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Northwestern Mississippi has a humid, subtropical climate. The weather is mostly determined by three factors; latitude, the Gulf of Mexico to the south and the landmass of the continent to the north. Temperatures in the state are relatively mild due to the proximity of the Gulf and the latitude. Having a humid, subtropical climate means the average temperature of the coldest month of the year is less than 64.4 and it receives regular precipitation all year, rather than having a distinct rainy season. The average temperature of the warmest month is over 71.6 degrees. However, Mississippi's weather at times seems to follow a "feast or famine" situation - either a lot of precipitation or drought conditions. Hurricanes are possible, but mostly affects the southern coast. Mississippi is in the path of two tornado alleys that run southwest to northeast across the state.
