The climate of most of Florida is categorized as
humid subtropical though the very southernmost part of the state is
fully tropical. As a result, Florida tends to experience a very
wet rainy season at least 4 months out of the year, from June to September. Because of
its coastal location as a peninsula, Florida is of course susceptible to hurricanes, but
many are surprised to hear that Florida is actually one of the most tornado-prone
states. The months of the rainy season bring the highest risk of tropical
cyclones.
For the rest of the year, Florida's temperatures
are mild to moderate. It is not unheard of to experience a 70 degree day in the winter
in mid- or south Florida, which is why it remains the top state for migrating "snow
birds" who wish to spend their winters in moderate temperatures. Though average summer
temperatures tend to peak in the low 90s, daily afternoon and early evening
thunderstorms provide a break from the heat.
