Local Seasons:

 

As both a major business city as well as a tourist destination, Montgomery has something of interest taking place virtually every day of the year.  With a moderate climate year-round, anytime is a good time for a visit.  Summer temperatures peak in the mid 90’s F during the day, with the evenings dropping to a more comfortable 70 F.  It is often cloudy and rainy during this time so be prepared.  Spring and fall bring cooler temperatures and more sunshine.  This is an ideal time to take advantage of the many outdoor activities available.  Winters are mild with little or no snow.
