Common questions
- Can you skydive year-round in the Sun Belt?
- At warm-weather drop zones in the South and Southwest, largely yes, they jump year-round. Skydiving is weather-dependent everywhere, though, so jumps still pause for high winds, low clouds, or poor visibility regardless of the season.
- When is the best time to skydive in the Sun Belt?
- Winter offers the most consistent, pleasant, and stable conditions, which is why it’s a popular destination for jumpers escaping colder regions. Summer still jumps well, but go early to beat the heat, haze, and afternoon storms.
