Atlanta Weather in September

Atlanta at 1,050 feet elevation has a humid subtropical climate modified by its inland and elevated position. The city sits on the Piedmont Plateau, giving it slightly cooler summers than coastal Georgia. However, the urban heat island from rapid development is significant. Ice storms are Atlanta's signature weather threat — thin glazes of freezing rain paralyze this car-dependent city.

Excellent shoulder season — warm with fewer tourists in many destinations.
