The climate of Columbus (Georgia
- United States of America)
Columbus is located in the western part of Georgia on the banks of the
Chattahoochee River. Columbus was founded in the 19th century as an
easily accessible port in a navigable portion of the river. The city
was named after the famous discoverer. Because of its situation the
city flourished soon. Many attractions can be found in Columbus.
Several museums can be found here such as the Columbus Museum and the
National Civil War Naval Museum. Both museums offer a clear picture of
the history of Columbus. Several well preserved historic suburbs can
be found here where you can enjoy the old atmosphere.
Columbus has a warm maritime climate with fairly mild winters and
pleasantly warm springs and summers. Precipitation is quite evenly
spread out over the year. During the summer heavy showers are not
uncommon.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
