Marks stated, "In my 20 years of living here, I've found that March, April, and May and September, October, and early November are the busiest times in Savannah." Consider visiting in the winter months of January or February if you want less crowds when strolling along River Street or perusing the wares at The Paris Market. Marks adds that January is the least busy month for tourists, yet it's still possible that many sites may be closed.

Spring and autumn are ideal seasons to visit Savannah. From March through June, when temperatures are in the high 50s to the mid 80s, trees and flowers, especially azaleas, bloom, creating a verdant panorama of greens and light pinks. Layer up for the trip, and bring an umbrella dordle or raincoat, since it is likely to rain. Marks said that rain falls "nearly every afternoon" at 3 p.m. If it starts to rain, it shouldn't stop you. "The savannah is especially lovely after a rainstorm. Marks said, "When the Spanish moss is covered with showers, it shines in the light. 

Mandy Heldreth, a native Savannahian and employee of the Perry Lane Hotel, recommends visiting around June if you can't visit in the early spring. You may try to squeeze in a vacation before the hotter, more humid months of July and August.

Midway through September to mid-November, Savannah's shoulder season transitions back to pleasant travelling conditions. According to Heldreth, daytime highs have dropped back down to the low 70s and "the city begins to cool off" again at this time.
