Check the forecast times and official local alerts before planning commuting, outdoor activities, or travel in Atlanta.
Atlanta has a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and mild winters. At Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport, the 1991-2020 reference averages range from a daily high of 54°F (12°C) in Jan to 90°F (32°C) in Jul. Monthly precipitation averages sum to 50.4 inches (1281 mm) per year.
Spring is short and storm-prone, with severe thunderstorms and occasional tornadoes. Summers feature pop-up afternoon thunderstorms and high dew points. Fall is typically the most pleasant season. Winter ice storms are infrequent but can paralyze the city when they hit, as Atlanta is poorly equipped for ice and snow.
Atlanta's inland Piedmont setting differs from the coastal Southeast. Elevation, distance from the ocean, and urban development all influence local temperatures, so a coastal forecast is not a substitute for conditions in the city.
Local Planning Guide
Atlanta's main risk windows are spring storm season, humid summer afternoons, and occasional winter ice setups that can have outsized travel impacts.
Radar is most useful for Atlanta when storms develop quickly along boundaries or move through the metro during commute windows, where timing matters more than daily rain chance.
