This morning started off cool at 50°F (10°C) under mostly cloudy skies, but don’t be fooled—warmer weather is on the way. By this afternoon, Savannah will warm up to a comfortable 66°F (19°C), though a few stray morning showers could make an appearance.
How Warm Will It Get?
Savannah’s forecast shows a steady rise in temperatures, with midweek highs climbing into the mid-to-upper 70s. By Thursday, we could see some of the warmest February temperatures on record.

What’s Causing This Sudden Warm-Up?
Meteorologists say a dominant high-pressure system is parked over the Southeast, preventing cold air from pushing down and allowing warm, Gulf Coast air to settle over Georgia. This setup is bringing clear skies, light breezes, and a stretch of spring-like temperatures that will last most of the week.
While Savannah is no stranger to occasional warm February days, a week-long warm spell like this is rare and could even break a few records.
What This Means for Savannah Residents
With warm, dry days ahead, this is the perfect week to enjoy outdoor activities. Whether you’re planning a walk along River Street, heading to Tybee Island, or grabbing a meal outside at one of Savannah’s famous cafés, the weather will be perfect.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Dress in Layers – Mornings will still be a bit cool, but afternoons will feel like early April.
- Use Sunscreen – With long stretches of sunshine, UV exposure will be higher than usual for February.
- Stay Hydrated – Warmer temperatures can cause dehydration, especially if you’re outside for long periods.
- Expect Packed Parks & Outdoor Spaces – With this kind of weather, expect more people out and about!
Will This Last?
For now, the warm weather looks steady through the end of the week, with a slight cooldown by Friday. However, temperatures will rebound back into the 70s by the weekend.
With March just around the corner, this could be a sign that Savannah’s winter is officially behind us. While a few cool spells are still possible, the extended forecast suggests a warm and sunny start to spring.
Final Thoughts – Enjoy This Perfect Week!
Savannah is getting a February treat—days full of sunshine, mild breezes, and temperatures that feel more like late March or early April. Whether you’re a local looking for a chance to get outside or a visitor enjoying the city, this is the kind of weather Savannah is famous for.
