One
of the most attractive features of Cape Coral and Southwest Florida
is its terrific year-round weather. The area averages 335 days of
bright sunshine each year (the other 30 days are just moderate sunshine).
While the summers are very warm, humid and rainy, the winters in
Cape Coral are absolutely beautiful.
Southwest Florida receives about 53 inches of rain
each year, the majority of which falls from May through September.
During the summer months, afternoon rains regularly roll in with
heavy downpours and stormy conditions that may last only a couple
of hours before subsiding. Then the sun reappears, heat and humidity
return, and all is well until the next day when the cycle begins
again.
The city is affected by the annual hurricane season,
which begins June 1 and continues through November.
