Climate Insight: U OF GA Plt Sci, GA
An annual average temperature of 61°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 73°F to a mean daily low of 50°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for U OF GA Plt Sci, Georgia. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00098950 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in U OF GA Plt Sci should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs 51.2 inches, with negligible snowfall. The frost-free season averages 226 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near March 27 and the first fall freeze near November 8. And on the energy front, 2,999 heating degree days and 1,718 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, U OF GA Plt Sci scores 83/100 (Excellent), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above are the practical planning tool: mild highs and lows land in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat peaks in summer, and January-driven cold sets in over deep winter. These are thirty-year averages, not a forecast - any single year can run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal.
