Sunny and Warm all year with Mild Winters
Sunny skies and warm weather are two of the primary factors that attract people to Florida.
Much of Florida experiences a tropical climate, characterized by hot and humid summers and mild winters and springs. Summers are typically hot and wet, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms cooling things down and keeping gardens lush green. Winters are mild and relatively dry, making Florida a popular destination for “snowbirds” escaping colder northern climates.
The Gulf Coast of Florida, which includes cities like St. Petersburg and Clearwater, enjoys generally warm weather year-round, with milder winters compared to the northern parts of the state. The best weather is roughly from October to April with temperatures generally reaching around 80 degrees.
