Sunshine and Sweater Weather? You Bet!
Here's the deal: Atlanta in December averages a high of 52°F (11°C) and a low of 37°F (3°C). But that's just the tip of the iceberg (pun intended, because sometimes there might actually be an iceberg...okay, maybe not). You can experience everything from crisp, sunny days perfect for strolling through festive markets to afternoons that make you wish you packed a parka.
The good news: Those crisp, sunny days are perfect for outdoor adventures. Think hikes with vibrant fall foliage clinging to the trees (yes, some leaves dare to defy the calendar in Atlanta), or exploring the city's amazing parks without the summer heat sapping your energy.
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
The not-so-bad news: Even on chillier days, Atlanta rarely sees snow. You might get a sprinkle of flurries that melt on contact, but a full-blown snow day is more of a Christmas movie fantasy than reality.
Rain or Shine, the Holidays Will Be Divine!
Let's be honest, Atlanta can be a bit on the rainy side, and December is no exception. But hey, that just means more opportunities to snuggle up by a fireplace with a mug of hot cocoa and watch cheesy holiday rom-coms.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
Pro tip: Pack an umbrella (because, Atlanta) and a light rain jacket for those unexpected showers.
But wait, there's more! December can also surprise you with days that feel downright balmy. Don't be shocked if you find yourself sweating slightly in a festive sweater. Atlanta weather, you crazy diamond!
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
