Oxford Mississippi Accommodations

When to Visit Oxford, MS

When you're trying to decide the best time to visit Oxford, keep in mind that the city has a warm and humid climate with hot summers and not much of a dry season. The warm season lasts from the end of May to mid-September. These months experience an average daily high temperature in the lower 80s. If you're looking for a good deal on a hotel room, your best bet is from May to August, when the college students are on summer break. During late summer and fall, rooms fill up quickly and hotels charge higher rates, especially during home football games.

The cold season lasts from the end of November to mid-February, and has an average daily high temperature in the mid-50s. While Oxford doesn't get a lot of snow, it can see an average of 3 inches each year, and most of that occurs in January. While you can find some good hotel deals when the University of Mississippi is on winter break, rates will go up again during the spring semester.
