Cape Coral Weather

Cape Coral weather is the best! So much warmth and sunshine ...... pool or beach anyone?!

From daytime highs of 75 degrees in January to days of 95 degrees in August, we have on average, only 10 days each year that are not sunny.

We average about 53 inches of rain each year.

Most people think it's too hot down here in the summer, but I'm more comfortable here in the summer than I was when I lived in Connecticut.

That's because we have the constant comfort of our air conditioner, which is on from April through November.

We are fortunate to have gulf breezes, so it's often cooler here in the summer than northern states and the interior of Florida.

In Florida, if I'm outside in the heat, either I'm at the pool or walking to it.

Back in Connecticut I had asked myself, would I rather go from heat to heat, or a/c to a/c ...... you know the answer!

• Dry season is from October to May. Winters are very pleasant and sunny. Cape Coral weather is seldom dreary and gray, we may have a few gloomy days around Christmas, but the temperatures are often still in the low 80's. We usually have a little cold spell in November that lasts a day or two, and maybe another one in February.

  I normally have to put the heat on for a total of 6 or 7 days the whole winter. Some winters are colder and rainier than usual, so I've had to put the heat on more often; but for many winters, I haven't had to put the heat on at all!

  There is danger from brush fires at the end of dry season, with most of the fires in May.

• Rainy season lasts from May to October. Typically, there's a rainstorm most afternoons lasting 45-90 minutes, but it is sunny before and after the rain. Get yourself a mini-umbrella to stick in your bag or purse!
• Hurricane season lasts from June 1st-November 1st. The best chance for hurricanes is in August and September. Fortunately, Cape Coral is in a part of Florida that doesn't get hit with them as much as other parts of the country. Sometimes summer storms bring damage from small tornadoes and you need to watch out for water twisters.

Our favorite months to go to the beach are March, April, October and November when the temperatures are in the low 80's....... perfect! Of course, you can enjoy the beaches anytime.

My parents still live in Connecticut and they get USA Today. Through the winter, they always check the weather in the Cape Coral and Ft Myers area and it is often the warmest spot on the map.

Cape Coral weather is my kind of weather!
