January weather

Question

Going for first time next Jan for 4 nights. Can we expect temps in the 60s that time of year? thanks

Answer

January in Savannah can be quite pleasant, especially compared to colder parts of the country, but it's not always warm. Generally, temperatures during this time of year tend to be in the mid to upper 50s and low 60s during the day, with the possibility of cooler nights dipping into the 40s or even upper 30s. It's unlikely to experience very warm weather, but you can usually expect mild and cool temperatures.

Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:

Daytime temperatures: The average high temperature in January is around 57°F to 64°F (14°C to 18°C), but some days may see temperatures reaching into the mid-60s if you’re lucky. The weather is often crisp but mild, especially when the sun is out.
Nighttime temperatures: Nights can get chilly, with lows around 38°F to 45°F (3°C to 7°C), so it's a good idea to pack layers, especially if you plan on being out in the evenings.
Rainfall: January is generally a dry month, but occasional rain showers are possible. It’s wise to pack a light rain jacket just in case.

In summary, temperatures in the 60s are quite common during the day, but be prepared for some cooler evenings and mornings. Layers and a light jacket should be sufficient for staying comfortable throughout your visit.

Since it's winter in Savannah, the city is less crowded than in the warmer months, so it's a great time to explore without the usual tourist crowds.
