The state of Georgia has a humid subtropical climate. This leads to mild winters and hot humid summers. The weather is colder in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the far north, and you even find snow there most years. Average temperatures are between 50 and 60°F in the winter, and in the low 90s at the height of summer.
