All Months
Spring and fall are perfection here. March through May brings azaleas and perfect weather for walking around downtown. September through November offers the same mild temperatures with bonus fall colors in the nearby mountains. Summer gets sticky - we're talking 90-degree days with Southern humidity that makes you question your life choices. But here's the upside: hotel rates drop 30% in July and August, and you'll have restaurant patios to yourself. Winter stays mild compared to most places, with January highs around 55 degrees. The occasional snow dusting shuts down the whole city, which locals find charming and transplants find hilarious. Peak season runs April through June and September through November when everyone wants to be outside.
