Climate in Georgia: Average Weather by City
Georgia spans more climate variety than most states, and its city normals prove it. The warmest city we track, Savannah, averages 67.5°F across the year, while the coolest, Atlanta, averages 63.6°F — a gap of 3.8°F inside one state. Rainfall runs from 44.1 in a year in Augusta to 50.4 in in Atlanta. This page compares every Georgia city in our dataset side by side using the same yardstick — the official NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals from each city's representative weather station — so you can pick the corner of the state that fits the weather you actually want, and the month to go see it.

| City | Yearly Mean (°F) | Avg High | Avg Low | Rain (in/yr) | Snow (in/yr) | Warmest | Coldest |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Savannah | 67.5 | 77.7 | 57.2 | 48.12 | 0.0 | Jul | Jan |
| Augusta | 65.4 | 77.8 | 53.0 | 44.09 | 0.8 | Jul | Jan |

Savannah is Georgia's warm pole. Its year-round mean of 67.5°F peaks in July at 83.0°F and never drops below a 50.7°F mean in January. It collects 48.1 in of precipitation a year. For the full month-by-month profile, see the Savannah climate page.
Atlanta anchors the cool end. With a yearly mean of 63.6°F, a coldest month (January) averaging 44.8°F, and a warmest month that reaches only 80.9°F, it offers the state's most pronounced seasons — a swing of 36.1°F between its coldest and warmest months. Its profile is on the Atlanta climate page.
Rain, snow, and when to visit
Rain is its own map. Atlanta is Georgia's wettest tracked city at 50.4 in a year — 1.1 times the 44.1 in that Augusta, the driest, receives. For snow, Atlanta leads the state at 2.2 in a year. Anyone choosing where in Georgia to live should weigh those totals as heavily as temperature: they decide everything from flood exposure to how many grey weeks a winter holds.
When to go where: Atlanta peaks in May; Savannah peaks in April; Augusta peaks in April. Each city's own page ranks all twelve of its months by the same comfort score — mild mean temperatures rewarded, heavy rain and snow penalized — so the recommendation is always traceable to the normals table rather than to anyone's opinion, ours included.
