All Months
March through May brings perfect weather – temps in the 70s, lower humidity, and azaleas blooming throughout the Historic Districts. Fall (October-November) offers similar conditions without the spring break crowds. Mardi Gras season (January-March) transforms the city but books up hotels months in advance and drives prices up 200%. Summer gets brutally hot and humid, with afternoon thunderstorms that can derail outdoor plans. But you'll find the cheapest hotel rates and fewer tourists. Winter stays mild compared to northern cities, rarely dipping below 40°F, making it decent for walking tours and indoor attractions. Hurricane season runs June through November, though Mobile sits far enough inland to avoid the worst damage.
