The Florida Keys - Welcome to Paradise

The Florida Keys, including Key Largo, Islamorada and Tavernier, enjoy some of the best weather in the world - even in summertime. The hottest day on record was 97 degrees, but those kinds of temperatures are few and far between. There is no urban sprawl to radiate the sun's heat - just lush, natural vegetation, plus the islands are surrounded by cooling ocean waters. Thunderstorms are possible late May through October, but they rarely stick around all day to ruin outdoor plans. In fact, the Keys receive the least rain of any place in the state. Winter is delightful and rain is minimal during these months. You will never see a cold front in the Florida Keys in winter - just warm days and mild evenings. The hurricane season peaks in mid-September and officially runs through November, but direct hits are rare for the Keys.
