All Months
March through May is peak season for good reason. The azaleas bloom in explosive pinks and purples, temperatures hover in the comfortable 70s, and the humidity hasn't kicked in yet. But you'll pay premium prices and fight crowds at every square.
October and November offer the best value. The summer heat finally breaks, the tourist buses thin out, and hotel rates drop by 30-40%. The trees start changing colors, creating a backdrop that's almost too perfect for photos.
Avoid June through September unless you enjoy feeling like you're breathing through a wet towel. Summer in Savannah means 90-degree days with 80% humidity and afternoon thunderstorms that turn streets into rivers.
Winter brings its own charm. December temperatures stay in the 60s, and the city decorates every square with thousands of lights. Just pack layers — Georgia winter weather changes by the hour.
