Rain is the defining variable for golf in Jackson, Mississippi in April — and for once, the news is good. At 13 precipitation days, April is the 4th-driest month of the year, a meaningful drop from March's 15 rainy days. Temperatures are cooperative too: highs reach 74°F and lows sit at 55°F, giving you a 19-degree daily swing that makes morning tee times noticeably cooler than afternoon rounds.
Wind is the one catch. April ranks as the 3rd-windiest month of the year at 11.4 mph peak, which puts it firmly in the moderate range. That's manageable on most holes, but enough to affect club selection on exposed layouts. Overall, April sits in shoulder-season territory — not quite the cleanest window on the calendar, but a genuine step up from the wetter months that surround it.
Book afternoon tee times in the 1–3 PM window when the 74°F high is fully in play, but keep an eye on week-ahead forecasts since 13 precipitation days still means roughly one rainy day in every 2.3. Weekday slots open up more than weekends in April as spring events fill Saturday and Sunday sheets at Jackson-area courses. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
April sheds two precipitation days compared to March and brings a 5°F warmer average high, making it a noticeably more reliable month to get a round in. The wind, however, barely eases — just 0.4 mph less than March's 11.8 mph peak. May runs warmer still at 83°F but actually adds two more rainy days back to the schedule, so April's drier conditions are a real short-term advantage worth using.
