| Climate |
| Tampa experiences a subtropical to temperate
climate. Highs usually stay between 65 and 95 year round °F (18 and 33 °C),
and lows rarely go below 32°F (0°C). These rare freezes are an enormous
threat to area agriculture and aquaculture. Fog can also be a major problem in
the winter and spring. Temperatures are hot June through October. These summer
days have highs around 90 °F (32 °C) and high humidity. |
The summer nighttime temperature drops to only around 75 °F
(23 °C). Thunderstorms are a major concern on summer afternoons. High winds,
small hail, and torrential rain often accompany these common afternoon thunderstorms
which can be severe. Tornadoes are not unheard of. These storms often move out
over the Gulf of Mexico at night, where they are easily seen from land as spectacular
light shows. | Another major concern for Tampa
is the Atlantic hurricane season which runs from June to November and peaks in
September. It has been more than 50 years since Tampa has had a direct hit from
a hurricane, but experienced three close calls in 2004. | |
