Atlanta has four distinct seasons and a temperate climate. Winter evenings are somewhat cold with temperatures that drop below freezing, but the daytime weather is mild enough to enjoy outdoor activities, with only an occasional snowfall. Summers are often humid and hot with heat waves lasting for many days.

The climate is mild throughout the year with some chance of snow in December and January. High temperatures and humidity in the summer months are common, so spring and autumn are the best times to visit the city.
