Spring in February? Atlanta Set to Break Temperature Records Before Weekend Showers

Atlanta is about to experience a weather rollercoaster! Temperatures this week will soar into the mid-70s—nearly 15 degrees above normal for February—possibly breaking records. But don’t get too comfortable—a shift is coming. By Sunday, rain and cooler air will move in, bringing an end to this unexpected spring-like warmth. If you’re making outdoor plans, enjoy the sun while it lasts, but keep an umbrella handy for the weekend!

Atlanta’s Warmest February Week in Years Before Rainy Changes Arrive

Get ready for a week of unseasonable warmth! Atlanta will be basking in temperatures more typical of April than February, with highs reaching the mid-70s by the weekend.

This stretch of warmth will likely challenge decades-old temperature records. But by Sunday night, a cold front will push through, bringing rain and a return to more typical February conditions.
