Florida Weather

Florida has some interesting weather patterns. May through September is known as hurricane season and one or two areas of Florida usually are affected each year. The hot and humid conditions that prevail over most of Florida in the summer months make it a sticky and uncomfortable place to be even with air-conditioning. From December through the end of May, Florida is the place to be. Temperatures linger in the low 80s with low humidity and the evenings bring 60 degree temperatures.
