 St.
Augustine is another of Florida’s coastal
cities that benefit from a micro-climate, where
the ocean tempers the heat or cold depending
on the season. In winter, the temperate climate
is ideal for sightseeing in America’s
oldest city where mid-day temperatures average
in the upper 60s. Breezes off the coast warm
the air with the aide of the Gulfstream. The
local temperatures rarely go below freezing
although about once or twice a decade the area
is hit with a mid 20 degree reading in the
depths of winter! Coupled with the rain gauges
which are relatively dry during the winter
months, St. Augustine is an ideal retreat for
snowbirds and young people alike. Almost anytime
during the year is an ideal time for boating,
fishing and other fine outdoor activities.

Many may assume summers in St. Augustine are unbearable.
To the contrary, the ocean moderates the temperatures,
highs and lows normally vary by less than 20 degrees
in a day. About once or twice a decade the area may
hit the century mark on the thermometer. Water temperatures
are usually comfortable from early May through late
October, which is ideal for snorkeling, scuba diving
and other water sports. Summer thunderstorms drop
their rain and pass on, leaving most of the day sunny
and comfortable. Hurricanes do occur on occasion,
mostly in late summer or early fall, on average happening
less than once a quarter century. With the year averaging
close to 70 degrees F, it’s no wonder so many
people choose to visit St. Augustine year round.
