Local Weather Context for Jacksonville
Jacksonville has a humid subtropical climate with hot, wet summers and mild winters. At the Jacksonville station, the 1991-2020 reference averages range from a daily high of 66°F (19°C) in Jan to 92°F (33°C) in Jul. Monthly precipitation averages sum to 53.4 inches (1356 mm) per year.
The wet season runs May through October, when the Atlantic sea breeze fires near-daily afternoon thunderstorms. Hurricane season spans June through November, and storm surge can push far up the St. Johns River; Irma in 2017 drove record river flooding downtown. Fall and winter are mild and dry, though inland neighborhoods see occasional frosts. Spring is warm and pleasant but dry enough to raise wildfire concerns some years.
