4. Climatology – South Florida experiences two distinct regimes. The “dry” season runs from approximately October to May. The “wet” season runs approximately from May to October. During the dry season, adverse weather, driven by frontal passages, is mainly defined by rain, low clouds and sometimes fog (a, b). Wet season dynamics allow thunderstorms and easterly flow dominate the active weather (c). The transition to fall and the first significant frontal systems can bring stronger winds (d).

4. Climatology – South Florida experiences two distinct regimes. The “dry” season runs from approximately October to May. The “wet” season runs approximately from May to October. During the dry season, adverse weather, driven by frontal passages, is mainly defined by rain, low clouds and sometimes fog (a, b). Wet season dynamics allow thunderstorms and easterly flow dominate the active weather (c). The relative proximity to the coastline allows for more wind based impacts to FLL. Also, significant frontal systems can bring stronger winds in the winter months (d).

The active weather causing the most significant impacts in the summer to the TPA area is thunderstorms (c). Impacts due to wind from frontal passages peak during the winter and spring months (d). Tampa is the only pacing airport in ZMA airspace to receive snow in a frequent enough basis to be reportable (e).
