Florida, like the Bahamas, has weather that's quite seasonal in nature. In the Keys, temperatures
vary from an average of 69 degrees in midwinter to 84 degrees in midsummer, though it can be
considerably colder or warmer than this.
The best time to cruise Florida is in late spring,
when the weather is near ideal. This is, co-incidentally, the high season for bareboat rentals.
Late fall is another good time to cruise Florida, but remember that late-season hurricanes can
occasionally occur as late as November. The summer can be rather hot and muggy, and air
conditioning can be a welcome feature. The winter can be chilly and wet if you should be
unlucky enough to experience a mid-winter cold front but otherwise is quite pleasant, and
travel to Florida is far less costly than to the Caribbean or even the Bahamas.
