| Climate |
| Average annual rainfall is about 54 inches (1370
mm) typically with late winter and early spring (as well as
July) being the wettest and fall being the driest. Average annual
snowfall is about 6.5 inches, falling mostly in January and
early February. Snow and ice occurs as early as December or
as late as mid-March; since 1878 snow has fallen only three
times in October and four in April. Winters are cold for short
periods, with January daily lows around 33 °F (1 °C) and highs
near 52 °F (11 °C). Summers are hot and humid, with July mornings
around 71 °F (22 °C) and afternoons around 89 °F (32 °C), slight
breezes, and typically a 20–30% chance of afternoon thunderstorms. |
| Spring weather is pleasant but variable, as cold fronts often
bring strong or severe thunderstorms to almost all of the eastern
and central U.S.. Pollen counts tend to be extraordinarily high
in the spring, regularly exceeding 2000 particles per cubic
meter in April and causing hay fever. Pine pollen leaves a fine
yellow-green film on everything for much of that month. The
rain helps wash out Atlanta's abundant oak, pine, and grass
pollens, and fuels beautiful blooms from native dogwood trees,
as well as azaleas, forsythias, magnolias, and peach trees (both
flowering-only and fruiting). The city-wide floral display runs
during March and April, and inspires the Dogwood Festival, one
of Atlanta's largest. Fall is also pleasant, with less rain
and fewer storms, lower humidity, and leaves changing color
from late October to mid-November, especially during drier years. |
