What to bring to Mississippi for first time visitor?|137302

I_m from London, and I could be going to the delta region this summer.
What should I bring in terms of weather clothing?
Does it get really hot? I burn quite easily.
Does it rain a lot?
What_s the local food like.

The local food will depend on where in Mississippi you go. Southern Mississippi has a more creole/cajun/delta flare while Nothern Mississippi is more traditional Southern Cooking. For good Southern food I recommend eating at a _Cracker Barrel_ restaurant. They aren_t too expensive and are all over the place in the South, particularly on or near Interstate off ramps.

I live ni the Delta, about four miles from Dockery and 30 minutes from Delta Blues Museum. Suspect that_s why you_re coming. Regardless, it will be hot and humid. Hi temps. will range from 90-100 but the humidity is what will get you. Take water with you if you plan to do any walking.
It does not rain too much during the summer.
The food is mostly _southern fried_ but there are places to get healthier alternatives if you_re not into that. Fried catfish is a favorite in this area as we were at one point home to a lot of catfish farms.
Hope you have a safe trip and enjoy your time in Mississippi.
I_d be happy to try to answer any other questions if you have any.

If you are from London, then you will probably see weeks and weeks of sunshine. It will be hot, 89-99 F. Bring a bathing suit, suntain lotion, and so forth. It is a really warm state, but beautiful.

Also, we americans like the English accent, so you are more than welcomed.
