Florida in June

[Anonymous]

We are considering a trip to Florida in early June. Does anyone know what the weather is like then? Is it very rainy? And when it rains does it just pass through or usually ruin an entire day? We are considering locations on both the Gulf side and Atlantic side, but we don't want to plan any trip that is most likely going to be rained out.

Thanks!

Florida resident here. In June, you can expect muggy hot days, afternoon thunderstorms, and humid evenings. The specific weather will depend on where you are. We live on the coast. Coastal communities are significantly cooler than inland areas. Air blows over the cooler water of the ocean towards the warm air over the land creating a sea breeze. At night, the opposite happens. The cool air blows from the land towards the ocean. Either way, we get the benefit of cooling winds. With all the mixing around of hot and cooler air and very warm temperatures, we get afternoon thunderstorms. They tend to cause very heavy rain and lots of lightening, but they are gone as quickly as they arrive.

A typical June day would bring highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s, very high humidity, and afternoon/evening thunderstorms. It's not a bad time to visit. In Florida, if you don't like the weather, just wait a few hours. It will change.

I should add that June is the beginning of our hurricane season, so make sure you watch the weather.
