Warmer Than the Florida Average
The county's 73.8°F average temperature sits well above the Florida state average of 71.1°F. Its coastal position on the Gulf of Mexico helps maintain these elevated temperatures throughout the year.

Prepare for Sun and Humidity
Invest in high-efficiency cooling systems to manage the frequent 90-degree days and high humidity. Light, breathable clothing is essential for the 51.5 inches of annual rain that often falls in sudden bursts.
