Question: How Hot Does it Get in Memphis?
Memphis, being a southern city, gets its fair share of warm temperatures. But how hot does it really get? And for how long?
Answer: The record high temperature in Memphis was set on July 13, 1980 when the mercury reached 108 degrees Fahrenheit. Fortunately, it usually doesn't get quite so hot here.
Instead, the average daily temperature during the summer months in Memphis is 81 degrees Fahrenheit. This is not to say, however, that the average high temperature is 81 degrees during the summer. Instead, this is an average comprised of the high and low temperatures each day of the summer.
The reality is, from the middle of May until the beginning of September, high temperatures in Memphis usually stay in the upper 80's to upper 90's. Add to that average relative humidity of 69% an you have hot, sticky, dog days of summer.
