College Prowler Take

Weather in Atlanta is always humid, and it’s generally mild in the winter and harsh in the summer. Temperatures in winter occasionally fall below 30 degrees during the day, while temperatures between June and August routinely rise above 90 degrees. During the spring and fall, the temperature can be extremely unpredictable. Droughts are common during the summers, and rain is usually unpredictable throughout the year. One should note that the high humidity makes temperatures harsher than they would be in locations with less humidity.

Take it from someone who knows—those who have problems with pollen and hay fever in the spring should keep their allergy prescriptions filled all the time. The weather here has made some claim that they’re simply allergic to Atlanta. However, if you are tired of harsh winters and enjoy a warm climate, then you won’t have a problem with Georgia Tech.

The weather fluctuates. We are in the Southern United States, so it’s warmer more often than cold, but we do experience four seasons. I love the fall best here because the trees are so pretty, and it’s football season.

The weather is usually very nice, but it likes to change its mind a lot. One week it can be in the 50s and the next in the 80s. It never gets too terribly hot, unless you’re staying for the summer. Probably the coldest I’ve ever felt here is 20 degrees, and that was at night. We get a lot of rain, but it rarely thunderstorms.

The weather is beautiful! It tends to get a little hot in the summer, but that’s only a problem if you take summer classes. Otherwise, the weather is very pleasant. We have cooler mornings, but then warm air in the afternoon.

Atlanta is hot, and the humidity is high. In the winter, the cold air is piercing because of the humidity, but I would definitely say that 10 months out of the year, the weather is really nice.

The summers are hot and humid. Atlanta has beautiful springs and falls, ranging from 60 to 80 degrees. Winters are cool, but they are so short that I generally welcome the change.
