Weather

The Deep South can be visited year-round thanks to its mild climate, but the spring and autumn seasons are the best periods to travel as you will have pleasantly warm days and cool nights perfect for outdoor exploration. Summers are hot and humid, making for uncomfortable conditions between June and August, and winters are milder than in other parts of the world with daytime highs ranging from 10°C to 19°C depending on where you visit in the region.

Time difference

The Deep South USA spans two different time zones: East Tennessee falls within the Eastern Time Zone (GMT -5hrs), while Middle and West Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana are situated in the Central Time Zone (GMT – 6hrs).
