Rainy | Months In Florida 'link'
End of feature.
1. Executive Summary Florida’s climate is famously bipolar: half the year offers nearly daily sunshine, while the other half delivers the most intense, predictable afternoon thunderstorms in the continental United States. The rainy season runs from late May through early October, with June, July, August, and September being the core wet months. During this period, Florida receives approximately 60-70% of its annual rainfall (annual average: 45-65 inches depending on region). Rain typically falls in short, violent bursts—not all-day drizzles—making it manageable for savvy travelers. 2. Monthly Breakdown of Rainfall | Month | Avg. Rainfall (inches) | Avg.
