Georgia's First 50-Degree Mornings Expected in October
Fall has officially arrived in Georgia as of September 22, 2026, marked by the autumnal equinox at 8:04 p.m. EDT, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. However, residents will need to wait a few more weeks for the crisp, cool mornings that signal the season's arrival. AccuWeather's extended forecast predicts that temperatures around 50°F (10°C) or lower will first appear in October for most areas. Specific dates include October 9 for Atlanta and Athens, September 25 for Blue Ridge, and November 2 for Augusta and Savannah. These projections highlight the gradual cooling trend across the state, with northern regions experiencing the chill earlier than central and coastal areas.
