Biloxi,

Biloxi is located on a little peninsula between Biloxi Bay and the Mississippi Sound on the Gulf of Mexico. It is 70 miles northeast of New Orleans, 70 miles southwest of Mobile, and 150 miles west of Jacksonville. The city has a moist semitropical climate, and sunny days with frequent cool breezes predominate. From May through September the hot, humid weather can be uncomfortable at times, and afternoon thundershowers are not uncommon. Winter brings primarily warm, clear weather and occasional cold spells lasting no longer than three or four days. Cyclones occur most often during June through November.
