The Key Largo Climate: What to Expect While Visiting
The Seasonal Climate in The Florida Keys
You may have heard that the weather is always better in the Florida Keys. While it sounds like a cliche, there are a few reasons it often proves to be true. The Florida Keys arc from the southeast coast of the Florida peninsula to the Gulf of Mexico puts them in the perfect position to achieve mild weather throughout the year. The nearness of the Gulf Stream and the Straits of Florida contribute to a warming trend in the winter and a cooling trend in the summer. As a result, Florida Keys’ average temperatures are some of the most enjoyable you can find.
Winter temperatures are typically only around 15 degrees lower than those in the summer, making any time a good time to vacation in the Keys. Not sure which month is ideal for your visit to the Florida Keys? Here’s an idea of what you can expect from Key West weather month by month.

Daily Chance of Precipitation in the Florida Keys
While they’re often referred to as the winter and summer seasons, the mild tropical-maritime climate is said only to have a wet (May – November) and a dry season (December – April). It rarely rains in the winter months, making the months of December through March a popular time to visit the Keys. In May, you can expect thundershowers to start popping up, but luckily, they rarely stick around long enough to spoil the day. While the Atlantic hurricane season can impact the islands, warm water temperatures contribute to some of the most beautiful weather of the year during this period.
Rain is a possibility throughout the year in the Florida Keys, but daily chances of precipitation are often low. September is the rainiest month, with an average rainfall total of 6 inches. December is the driest month, averaging only about 1.4 inches of rain. Even during the wet season, daily average precipitation chances in the Florida Keys hover around the 50% mark, with average rain chances ranging from 36% to 59%.
