Local Tips for Visiting Atlanta in the Summer
Expect Warm Days and Sunny Skies
If you enjoy warm weather, you’re going to love Atlanta in the summertime. Temperatures reach the upper 80s throughout the day and cool down to around 70 degrees in the evening. That means you can leave your jacket at home and sport your favorite t-shirt as you explore the city! Don’t forget to wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water on those hot, sunny days.
Enjoy the Best Summertime Activities
What memories will you make this summer? The possibilities are endless in Atlanta! The mixture of beautiful green spaces and charming businesses in Midtown make it especially ideal for your visit.
