Not only is there no dry season in South Florida, we really don't even have four seasons for that matter because we don't have a true summer or a true winter like most of the United States.

South Florida weather is mostly sunny and warm with blue skies making it perfect beach weather almost all year around! In the summer months there is high humidity with tropical downpours almost daily.

Every month has a rainfall of at least 2.36 inches. But don't fret over the rain. The showers are warm, tropical showers, not lasting long, with the sunshine quickly reappearing.

This monthly rainfall is what makes South Florida so beautiful, lush and green!
