Questions About Atlance Weather (Atlanta: moving to, humid, party)

[jwt8070]

Hi,

I am considering moving to Atlanta and wanted to know how the summer in Atlanta is like. Is the summer hot and humid? How long does the summer last? What are the other seasons like? Does it rain a lot? I am from California. Thanks.

Oops, sorry I mis-spelled "Atlanta" in the subject, but don't see a way to correct it. (:

Yes Atlanta is Hot and Humid

Summer starts in late May, June is generally tolerable with July and August the peak of summer weather. September is still hot but more reasonable.

Fall is primarily October, November. October and early November is great weather with peak leaf watching the first week of November. By late November colder weather moves in.

Winter typically starts in December with peak winter weather in January and February. It can be cold an dreary during weather in that it will rain but not necessarily snow. The worse is typically over by late February.

March is just a psycho month. You can have warm days and cold days. Spring starts to move in by late March with April weather just gorgeous. This is festival season and everyone wants to be outside. May is still spring weather but it clearly gets much hotter and as I noted at the start, Summer weather moves in by the end of the month.

The hot, humid weather tends to hit us from May until September though you can get some mild temperature weather days here and there (in May or September).

Just keep in mind: June through August stay hot pretty much every day and completely unbearable to some of us. The heavy downpours of rain can happen anytime of the year, as well has having lots of drought.

What surprised me about Atlanta summers is that the temps do not get up into the upper 90s-100s very often, but that they stay in the 93-94 degree range with lows in the mid 70s from June through August without a day of respite. And very few rainy days (except when I have a big outdoor party planned).

Spring is fabulous- everywhere you look, there are bright pops of color that start in March and just keep going- cherries, azaleas, wisteria, dogwoods, magnolias, hydrangeas.... The only problem is that for the last two weeks the pollen is so bad that you can't be outside without getting coated in yellow. Thankfully, that appears to be dwindling.

October-November is the most beautiful time of year for me. The Fall foliage, plus it's still warm ~70-80 degrees is awesome!

The past few days have been warm. Perfect running weather even though it has been raining. While some parts of the country they are freezing their butts off
