If you’re taking a trip to Florida, understanding what the weather will be like will be an extremely vital for a successful holiday. Like nearly all of North America the weather can be somewhat inconsistent, but it definitely has patterns which will provide strong indicators even when you’re planning months beforehand. Northern and central Florida can get chilly during the winter season.
When considering what sort of weather you will encounter on your Florida holiday, bear in mind that the country extends north and south for more than 500 miles. With the majority of Florida also being influenced by maritime conditions, there’ll be enormous differences in climate conditions across the nation. North and central Florida extending south into the Orlando/Tampa area is deemed humid subtropical.
The holiday months of June through September will also be the rainy months. They lead in the hurricane period of August through October, which definitely differ from year to year. When planning your holiday hurricanes aren’t a reason to prevent Florida during the summer in my estimation. There’s absolutely not any way to accurately forecast long term when or where a hurricane may strike, and unless you are heading there on a last minute trip the little prospect of being affected by a storm on holiday is small. If you’re in Florida and there’s a threat, with weather forecasting how it is you will have a lot of time to respond to volatile conditions.
The 1 thing you need to be very conscious of in Florida, especially when spending time outside at the beach, golf course or amusement parks is the danger of lightning. There are numerous deaths annually from lightning strikes, and they frequently come with zero warning. They can happen any time throughout the calendar year, however, are most prevalent during the summer months.
This is most likely due to greater awareness with risks with better and lightning warnings to the public when lightning is possible. But it’s up to individuals to correctly react to these warning signs, and if you’re coming to Florida you should be very conscious of how harmful lightning is.
