City insight: Atlanta
Atlanta is the capital of Georgia, USA, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains at about 1,050 feet, with rolling hills and dense tree cover. It has a humid subtropical climate with generous rain all year: summers are hot and humid, with 90 F (32 C) reached on about 47 days a year, and winters are mild but variable, with about 36 freezing nights and occasional light snow. Spring and autumn are the best seasons to race. Summer needs heat and humidity precautions. Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the world's busiest by passengers, serves the city.
