A Tropical Oasis

Southwest Florida has a subtropical climate; it is what many call paradise. The most popular time of year is October through May, when there are warm days and cool nights.

The average annual rainfall is just over 52 inches with June to September being the rainy season. During the rainy season, an afternoon shower rolls in, rains for about an hour, and then a wonderful evening follows. The winter months are the dry season, during which we sometimes go for weeks without a drop of rain. Summer weather is humid but temperatures rarely go above 90.

Some people think of all Florida weather being the same, but there are definite differences. For example, on this comparison chart, notice how much cooler Destin is in the winter months, compared to the Cape Coral-Fort Myers area.
