What Newton's climate means for you
Newton runs 67°F a year - peaking in July, coldest in January.
- Gardeners get about 257 frost-free days, with the last spring freeze near March 7 - plan the planting calendar around it, not the regional average.
- Energy bills track 1,743 heating and 2,363 cooling degree days a year, higher means the furnace or AC runs more.

Climate Insight: Newton, GA
In Newton, Georgia, the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals put the annual average temperature at 67°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 78°F to a mean daily low of 56°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. As thirty-year averages computed from 2 weather stations, these numbers smooth out year-to-year noise into a working baseline for a typical month.
Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Newton receives roughly 49.5 inches of precipitation each year, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 257 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near March 7 and the first fall freeze near November 19. For energy use, 1,743 heating degree days and 2,363 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Newton scores 92/100 (Excellent), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and January-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
