Weather in Atlanta

Best time to visit

Nicknamed ‘Hotlanta’, Atlanta has a humid subtropical climate. Spring and autumn are the ideal times to visit the city. In spring, Atlanta is a beautiful Southern Belle, ablaze with blossoms of Bradford pear, white dogwood and pink azaleas. Summers are hot, humid and languid, and the city moves at a noticeably more leisurely pace. Winters can be unpredictable, often with ice rather than snow. Throughout the year, the city hosts a slew of events from film and food to music and booze, so visit according to your tastes.
