Weather in New South Memphis in April

A good month. April works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs average 22 °C, lows 10.5 °C, and rain falls on 11 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

April ranks 2 of 12 in New South Memphis. Only October scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

The rain arrives in bursts — 5 of the 11 wet days are heavy ones. Mornings tend to hold; build the outdoor half of each day before lunch and keep the afternoon flexible. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average April reaches 30 °C. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest April day reached 31.9 °C and the coldest night fell to -4 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 85 mm — roughly 63% of the month's rain in one day.

April is statistically steady but not small: the year-to-year variation is modest in relative terms, yet the wettest April on record still delivered 307 mm against 47 mm in the driest. In a month this wet, even a tame spread is a lot of rain in absolute terms — the 136 mm average is a reasonable planning figure, not a promise.

Wind is light at 11 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 78%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How April sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 5.3 °C warmer than March, and May adds another 4.3 °C. Late in the month feels noticeably different from the start of it, which is worth knowing if the trip is short.

Daylight in April

13 hours of daylight, gaining 1 hours across the month. That is between New South Memphis's extremes of 14.5 and 9.8 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 34.8 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

April in New South Memphis versus nearby

If New South Memphis is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Little Rock is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Jackson is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day less rain.

So: April is effectively as good as it gets here — 5 points behind October, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
