The climate of Gulfport (Mississippi
- United States of America)
Gulfport is a large city located in the southern part of the state of
Mississippi on the Gulf of Mexico in Harrison County. The United
States Navy has a large fleet here. This department of the Navy is
known as the Atlantic Fleet Seabees. The city is very popular among
tourists. Not for its beautiful white beaches, but for its many
floating casinos. The city got hit by hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Gulfport has a warm maritime climate strongly influenced by the Gulf
of Mexico. Summers are warm. However, an ever blowing sea wind offers
some cooling. Winters are very mild and much warmer than in the more
northerly located cities in Mississippi. Precipitation figures are
high all year round. Precipitation is quite evenly spread out over the
year. During the second part of the year there is a risk of tropical
storms and hurricanes.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
