What June is like in Savannah

June is hot and humid, with highs near 90F (32C) and afternoon storms. Hurricane season begins on June 1. The beaches at Tybee are great, but downtown is sticky by midday. Crowds are moderate and prices come down from spring.

It suits beach families and travelers who plan walks for early morning and evening. Trolley tours help if you have kids or want to stay out of the sun. For comfortable city walking, April, October and November are much better choices. Keep bookings flexible, since hurricane season has now started for the year.

Beat the crowds

Avoid St. Patrick's week unless you are coming for it. The weeks around it offer the same blooms with far fewer people.
Stay in the Victorian District or near Forsyth Park rather than River Street for quieter nights.
Take the walking tours and cemetery visits early, and save the afternoons for museums in summer.
Weekday trips in spring and fall are much calmer than weekends.

Know before you go

Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. Storms can close Tybee Island and prompt evacuations.
Sand gnats (no-see-ums) are worst in spring and summer near marshes. Bring repellent.
Historic houses and museums keep limited hours on holidays; check before planning around one.
