It isn’t called “Hotlanta” for nothing. Tourists booking flights to Atlanta during the summer months should be prepared for stifling hot and humid weather. The good news is that many travelers opt to visit Atlanta during cooler months, so you’re likely to find cheap plane tickets to Atlanta along with cheap hotels. Spring and fall are the best times to travel to Atlanta if you are concerned about the humid summer weather, as the temps are a bit more comfortable for sightseeing. Be forewarned, however, that thousands of college students gather for the start of a new school year in late August. Finding a hotel room can be tough during this time. Winter can be quite chilly, and the city occasionally experiences some light snowfall, though the average annual snowfall for the past few decades is less than 3 inches. Rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year.
