Tremont, MS 38876 Frost Dates
Tremont, MS: when does the frost end?
Around 04/01 is the usual last spring frost, about 216 days away. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/31, roughly 212 days after the last spring frost.
Zone 8a (10 to 15°F average annual minimum) comes from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map; the frost dates above are the 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting NOAA station for Tremont, not a forecast for this year.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 9 weeks until Tremont's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 04/01 isn't a guarantee
04/01 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/16 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/16 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
