Climate Print this section | E-mail this section Georgians enjoy warm, pleasant weather most of the year. Winters are short and mild. Snow falls only in the north and is usually rare. However, the same tropical air currents that keep Georgia so warm can sometimes bring terrible storms. Hurricanes and tropical storms develop over the Atlantic Ocean and can strike Georgia with their high winds and heavy rain. Even more common are destructive tornadoes and flooding. Despite these challenges, Georgians feel that their warm climate makes their state a great place to live.
