Weather
Northeast Coast of Florida, in the Jacksonville/Atlantic Beach/St. Augustine region enjoys year round warm temperatures. Basically, there are three seasons, Spring, Summer and Fall. Classified as a semi-tropical climate with hot and humid summers, the northeast coast receives lots of showers and thunderstorms in the summer, and cooling ocean breezes helps moderate temperatures. Thunderstorms are usually localized and short, and therefore do not interfere with outdoor plans too much. In winter, prevailing winds from the north keeps it a few degrees cooler than southern Florida. The rainy season runs May through October, with September generally being the wettest month. Winters are sunny, dry and mild with cool evenings.
St. Augustine Beach is an area of tropical climate, coastal breezes and warmth. Located on Anastasia Island between the Matanzas River and the Atlantic Ocean, the area is warmed by Florida's famous sunshine and cooled by breezes coming in off of the Atlantic. Due to the curve of Florida's coastline, Anastasia Island is subject to summer tropical storms but not direct hurricane landfall. The temperature is cooler than in southern Florida cities with an average mean temperature of 79 degrees. Most days are sunny and delightful!
