September in Jackson: afternoons around 82°F, nights around 61°F. One of the wettest months here: ask for a covered spot in the delivery note, or ship to the workplace.
Heat (June, July and August). Afternoons average 85°F or more, peaking near 89°F in July. Send chocolate, cheese and fresh fruit to a workplace or a front desk in these months; baked goods, nuts, coffee, tea and spa baskets can take a doorstep drop.
Freezing nights (January, February and December). The average low reaches 29°F in January. Jams, sauces and fresh fruit should not spend a night outside; offices, senior residences and hospitals all receive indoors.
Snow (January). About 5 inches a year on average. Allow one extra business day when the date matters: a birthday box that ships two days out still lands on time if it leaves three days out.
Wettest months (July and September). Around 6.0 and 5.2 inches of rain on average. Boxes are sealed, not waterproof: a covered porch or a workplace address keeps the packaging presentable.
