Atlanta, Georgia, experiences a humid subtropical climate characterized by four distinct seasons: hot, humid summers; mild winters; and transitional periods of spring and fall.

                                                                                   

Spring (March to May): Spring in Atlanta brings gradually warming temperatures, with average highs ranging from the mid-60s°F (18°C) in March to the upper 70s°F (25°C) in May. This season is marked by blooming flora and is ideal for outdoor activities. ​

                                                                               

Summer (June to August): Summers are typically hot and humid. July is the hottest month, with average temperatures around 81°F (27°C). Highs often reach the 90s°F (32–37°C), and the city occasionally experiences temperatures exceeding 100°F (38°C). Afternoon thunderstorms are common, providing brief respites from the heat.

                                                                                         

Fall (September to November): Autumn offers cooler temperatures and lower humidity. Average highs decrease from the low 80s°F (27°C) in September to the mid-60s°F (18°C) by November. This season is favored for its pleasant weather and vibrant foliage. ​

                                                                                   

Winter (December to February): Winters are generally mild, with January being the coldest month, averaging overnight lows around 33.5°F (1°C). Snowfall is rare, but occasional light snow or ice storms can occur. ​

                                                                                  

Recent studies indicate that Atlanta's winters are becoming warmer due to climate change, resulting in fewer days with below-freezing temperatures. This trend affects winter recreation opportunities and may impact water supplies during warmer seasons.
