Best time to visit
Good time to visit
Average time to visit

The best times to visit Memphis are April and May or October and November. These short seasons are brief relief's from the uncomfortable (and long) summer and winter seasons. Average summer temperatures often climb to the mid 30s°C with high humidity. However, the summer remains Memphis' peak tourism season because of school vacations.

The best time to visit Nashville is from April through October, when the warm weather brings this music city to life. Between June and August the city becomes very hot and humid, which can feel uncomfortable. Meanwhile, winter months (December and January) can get quite cold, with snow a possibility.
