Florida Keys Weather
Although the Florida Keys have a tropical climate, temperatures never become unbearably high or unpleasantly cool, because of the cooling influence of the ocean.

The Keys are at risk in the hurricane belt, the highest potential period for storms hitting being between mid-August and mid-October. Winters in the Keys are mild, sunny, frost free and clear.
