Flora Vacation Rentals, Hotels, Weather, Map and Attractions

Flora is a town in Madison County in central Mississippi. The population is approximately 1,500 and it's part of the Jackson Metropolitan Statistical Area. The Mississippi Petrified Forest lies just outside the Flora city limits. The forested collection of petrified wood in the Mississippi Petrified Forest is purported to be the only such forest to exist east of the Mississippi River. Many points of interest are along the six-block-long paved trail in the forest, including the Earth Science Museum. You can also try your hand at "fluming" at the museum, which is the term used for searching for gemstones. The town of Flora is quintessential old south, friendly residents, small-town values and family fun. The city is host to a Heritage Festival, Car and Bike Show and a Christmas Parade. Nearby, the city of Jackson offers an abundance of attractions and recreation. Just a few of the places to visit include the Smith Robertson Museum and Cultural Center, the Jackson Zoological Park, and the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. The Jackson Zoo is one of the city's oldest attractions, and offers over 700 animals in a heavily wooded and beautifully landscaped refuge. Also near the town of Flora is LeFleur's Bluff State Park. This state park has 500 acres of woodlands with hiking trails, a fishing lake, camping, golf, swimming, playgrounds and picnic areas. So, if you're looking for a quiet place from which to explore the Jackson area, be sure to check out the town of Flora.

Flora Weather & Climate

Central Mississippi has a humid, subtropical climate with warm, humid summers and short winters. In Mississippi, summer temperatures vary little from one part of the state to another. During winter, however, the southern coast is much warmer than northern regions, due to the influence of the Gulf of Mexico. Humidity in summer is a problem statewide, with the comfort index being 26 out of 100, where the higher the number, the more comfortable. The north-central region of the state averages 53 inches of precipitation per year. Some snow usually falls in the northern and central sections. Mississippi lies in the path of hurricanes, although the southern coast is much more affected by these types of storms. Two tornado alleys cross the state from the southwest to northeast.
