How to read it
Atlanta's storms come from two directions: lines of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes from the west in spring, and the remains of Gulf and Atlantic hurricanes from the south in late summer and fall, which can stall inland for days of rain. A thin coat of snow and ice is enough to stop the city, as it did in January 2014.
Atlanta's longest day, around June 21, has 14 hours 24 minutes of daylight, and its shortest, around December 21, has 9 hours 55 minutes.
Sunset in Atlanta comes earliest around December 2, at about 5:28 PM, and latest around June 30, at about 8:52 PM. That earliest sunset comes about 19 days before Atlanta's shortest day, because the Sun's noon drifts against the clock through the year. Atlanta's clocks change twice a year, so its sunset jumps by an hour on each of those days.
Atlanta's evening golden hour, the Sun from 6° up to 4° below the horizon, lasts about 50 minutes around the equinoxes; at midsummer about 55 minutes.
Questions
What time is sunset in Atlanta today?
The list on this page gives it, worked out for today on Atlanta's clock, with the coming week's. Through the year Atlanta's sunset moves between about 5:28 PM and about 8:52 PM.
When is golden hour in Atlanta today?
The list gives Atlanta's morning and evening golden hours, when the Sun is low and its light warm and long-shadowed, and the blue hours just outside them, on Atlanta's clock.
When is the next full Moon in Atlanta?
The list gives the date and time on Atlanta's clock, with today's phase and when the Moon rises and sets there. It's full at the same moment everywhere on Earth, so what differs in Atlanta is only the clock and when the Moon is up.

What is the air quality in Atlanta today?
This page gives Atlanta's US AQI as it's served, with the EPA's word for its band. It comes from Copernicus's CAMS forecast through Open-Meteo: a model for the area around Atlanta rather than a monitor's reading, so a station nearby can differ.
Are the northern lights ever visible from Atlanta?
Only in the rarest, strongest storms, as in May 2024, low on Atlanta's northern horizon and faint from inside the city. This page says what NOAA's OVATION forecast gives for Atlanta over the next hour or so.
