Atlanta in Summer: Hold My Sweet Tea, It's Hotter Than A Dragon's Breath!
Ah, Atlanta. The city in the trees, a beautiful metropolis... with a summer that could boil an egg on the sidewalk. Don't get me wrong, I love Atlanta. But let's be honest, folks, summer here is like living inside a giant hairdryer set to "high."

| How Hot Is Atlanta In The Summer |
So How Hot Does it Get?
Atlanta summers are no joke. We're talking average highs in the 80s (°F), with occasional visits from temperatures over 100°F. That's enough to make even the most seasoned grill master sweat (and possibly consider grilling their lunch directly on the sun).
But wait, there's more! Atlanta's got this thing called humidity. It's like someone took all the moisture out of the Everglades and shoved it into the air. The kind of humidity that makes you feel like you're wearing a soaking wet t-shirt, even when you're standing still.
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.
Pro tip: If you see a local walking around with a giant cup of iced tea, don't judge. It's basically their life support system during the summer.
Is There Any Escape From the Heat?
Well, there are a few options, if you're feeling adventurous (or desperate).
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
- Become nocturnal: Embrace the vampire lifestyle and sleep all day. Just remember the sun does come up eventually, and the heat will be waiting.
- Move into the air conditioning vent: Not the most comfortable option, but hey, it'll get the job done. Just be careful not to get sucked in by a rogue air current.
- Build a giant swimming pool in your backyard: Only slightly unrealistic. But seriously, swimming pools are a summer staple in Atlanta for a reason.
But really, the best way to survive an Atlanta summer is to embrace it (while staying hydrated, of course). Head to the pool, grab a frosty beverage, and enjoy the sunshine (from a safe distance, under an umbrella).
Fun Fact: Did You Know?
Atlanta actually has a nickname for those rare, cool summer days: "sweater weather." Don't get too excited though, it usually only lasts about an hour before the heat returns with a vengeance.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
