Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

Temperate but Moody

Winters aren't too cold, just as springs aren't too hot. Near summer time though, it can get extraordinarily hot. Once spring hits, afternoon showers are random, unpredictable, and can last either 5 minutes or for the rest of the day. Dorms are on the outskirts of campus with classes towards the middle, so pretty much everyone has to walk some distance through whatever weather might accompany them that particular day. Campus isn't too large though, and is pretty concentrated in one spot, so overall it's not so bad.

Typical Southern Weather

Pretty mild winters, but everyone freaks out when there is snow. The whole city of Atlanta shuts down anytime there is snow because they are ill-equipped to handle such weather. This often translates into cancelled classes. :)

It's pretty hot and humid during the summers, but you can be in the beautiful North Georgia mountains, where the weather is pristine.
