First and foremost, Birmingham is humid. Don’t be surprised if your hotel room floor is dank from the humidity or if clothes feel damp after being packed in your suitcase for too long. Because of the city’s subtropical climate, you’ll need to pack heavy-duty hair products to battle the humidity and keep your style intact. Though the mugginess is admittedly stifling, almost every business in Birmingham kicks their air conditioning up a notch—make sure to bring plenty of layers so you can switch easily between the fluctuating temperatures.
