Weather for Atlanta

Best time to visit:

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 noticeably moves at a more leisurely pace. Winters are unpredictable, often with ice rather than snow.
