Weather Conditions During Summer Months

During warm temperatures as you will see during hurricane season the average temperature is quite a bit higher but cloud cover and the sea breeze are there to help it feel cooler than the thermometer says it is. The hottest month in Tampa FL is also during hurricane season.

Frequent thunderstorms occur during the mid afternoons even during the hottest month here in Tampa Florida. Even if we get no rain we still usually, will get at least some clouds during those afternoons. Clearwater FL is famous for having incredible weather conditions and so is St Petersburg next to it. Tropical storms and hurricane season are historically seldom a factor in the Tampa Bay area.
