Irondale, AL Overview

Just east of Birmingham along the Interstate 20 corridor, the former mining and railroad town of Irondale is now a thriving and diverse suburban community.  The railroads that cross through the town link the past to the present, showcasing the area's historic legacy.  The railroad observation deck is the focal point of the Annual Whistle Stop Festival in downtown Irondale, while the historic district displays railroad cars.  An old red caboose has been given a new life as the home to the Greater Irondale Chamber of Commerce.  Across the tracks, visitors will find the original Whistle Stop Cafe featuring, of course, fried green tomatoes.  Newcomers to Irondale are charmed by a town that captures and preserved the spirit of days gone by, when communities were family oriented and civic leaders were responsive and caring toward residents and local businesses.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
