South Georgia has a cold, maritime climate, largely influenced by the surrounding Southern Ocean.

While the island experiences all four seasons, the weather can be extremely variable, with frequent rainfall, snow, and strong winds year-round. The temperatures on South Georgia are relatively mild for such a southern latitude, with summer temperatures ranging from 0°C to 10°C, while winter temperatures hover between -5°C to 5°C. Due to its harsh weather conditions, visitors are advised to prepare for cold, wet, and windy conditions, even in the summer months. However, the rugged beauty of the island’s glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and ice-filled fjords make it a unique and unforgettable destination for those adventurous enough to explore it.
