Best time to visit Mobile

November is the best month in Mobile, scoring 83 out of 100, with July the weakest at 46. The 37-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 5 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

July is the warmest month at 31.2 °C and January the coolest at 15.1 °C — a 16.1 °C spread across the year. Around 82 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in July and the months either side.

There is a real wet season here. June to August carry the rain — up to 23 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, April, May, October and November drop as low as 8. That 15-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Mobile, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea is comfortable for swimming in April to December — 29.8 °C at its warmest against 19 °C at its coldest. The water peaks a month or two after the air does, so the best swimming falls later in the year than the best weather. Daylight runs from 10.2 hours in winter to 14.1 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are November, October, April. The one to think twice about is July. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
