Subtropics marked by two distinct seasons
Weather is what brings a lot of people to Southern Florida - particularly during the dry, mild winter.
It's also what drives a lot of people away - particularly during the hot, rainy, sweaty, sticky summer.
Welcome to the subtropics, an area just outside the tropics, which lie between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.

Although it looks like we have lots of cloudy days, the sun is out almost year round.

Also, although we do get rain here-it is a tropical rain and comes and goes quickly, generally acts as a refresher to the hot days..
