Florida Weather Summary

Florida is the most southerly of the lower 48 states, a long low-lying peninsular that stretches southwards towards the Caribbean and westwards along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Renowned in the United States as the 'sunshine state' it stands up well to its reputation.

Most of Florida, for example Orlando, has a warm temperate climate with hot summers and rainfall in all months of the year. However south of Lake Okeechobee, such as in Miami, conditions become increasingly tropical with a more clearly defined dry season lasting from December to April.

Summers are hot with daytime temperatures rising into the 30s Celsius from June to September throughout the state. Interestingly summer days in the north can be hotter than they are in the south. Heat and humidity is also very high everywhere in summer during the day, but afternoon thunderstorms usually cool the air towards the end of the day so heat and humidity does not persist into the night. Florida has the highest number of thunderstorms per year of any US state.

Most rainfall also occurs at the height of summer between June and September with over 200mm of rain a month in some places. But despite the large number of days with rain there is still also a lot of sunshine – at least 8 hours a day on average everywhere. Areas in the north-west and south-east receive most rainfall in the year, while rainfall is lowest in the far south-west and along the Florida Keys.

Hurricanes and other less serious tropical storms can strike Florida any time in the summer up to the end of November, however the risk is greatest between August and October. Hurricanes can pose a serious threat to life and property but on average less than four storms a year affect Florida and generally all they bring is high winds, rough seas and a lot of rain.
