BEST TIME TO
TRAVEL TO TAMPA AND ST PETERSBURG
Tampa and St Petersburg are located in the central
Florida region, near Orlando and Walt Disney World. So,
take into account the framing travel and climatic facts for this
region:
- Winter (December-April) is a popular period. Many people came in Winter and accommodation costs are higher in this period.
- June to October is the hurricane period
and afternoon thunderstorms are very often. Humidity is high in
the summer period, but since St Petersburg and Tampa are coastal areas, they benefit of sea breezes.
-
It rains less in winter than in summer, but
showers tend to be short; vacations aren't deeply affected by
them. See Tampa and St Petersburg Weather Data
- Transitional months
as April and May (Florida's Spring) and September, October and
November (Florida's Autumn) are excellent periods to visit
Southern Florida (Autumn is a particularly good period in terms
of temperatures and precipitation). Spring and Autumn have very
pleasant weather and since they are rather off-peak periods you
may obtain accommodation at lower prices.
-
Presidents' Day weekend (February), Easter
week, Memorial Day weekend (end of May), the Fourth of July,
Labour Day weekend (September), Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Year's tend to be
especially packed periods.
