Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Atlanta’s weather is beautiful. The fall is warm with lots of breezes, where a T-shirt, jeans and sandals are perfect, and you won’t ever be cold in shorts. The winter can get cold, but it doesn’t really ever snow (when it does, the native Atlantans freak out). You will need some sweaters and a jacket for late November through February. Spring is amazing from March on, but it does rain a lot in April, May, and June, so an umbrella is key. The springtime in Atlanta is truly beautiful. Summers are burning hot, especially July and August. Don’t bring a car down here without air conditioning, as the humidity makes for some stale afternoons in the summer.

Overall, Atlanta’s weather is a blessing to the students of Emory. For such high average temperatures, Atlanta does manage to have four full and notable seasons. Emory students love the springtime, and people take advantage of the nice weather by sunbathing and hanging out all over campus. Allergies can be a problem for some, especially people used to cold climates. When it rains, it can rain hard and sometimes for days on end, but it’s worth it for the tremendous day-to-day weather students enjoy in Atlanta.

I don't know what else there is to say. T-shirts and shorts are not uncommon in months as late into the fall semester as mid to late November, and as early in the spring as mid to late February. We get rain once in awhile, but Emory is in GA, it's nice here.
