The rainy season runs from may until about October. The rest of the year it only rains a couple of times a week. Freekin' state is starting to wear thin.

 

Don't let the rainy season dictate your decision to come all the way to Florida. It's not like any type of rain you see over there on the other side of the pond.

During the rainy season, afternoon thunderstorms are common anytime from 2pm to 6 or 7pm. Then the sun almost always comes back out and dries everything up in about an hour or less. The first month of the rainy season the storms typically build on the east side of the state and moves west dumping all of the rain on the west coast. The remainder of the season it is opposite, builds in the west and moves east which is the pattern that is happening now and for most of the remainder of the rainy season.

Most of us are accustomed to the rainy season and just deal with it, but it rarely if ever rains for more than an hour or two down here. It is quite easy to predict and plan around. It sometimes gets so hot down here that a little shower to cool things off can be welcome.

Nobody from your side of the pond should ever be concerned with Florida's rainy season considering the rain that you guys deal with! Lauren can fill you in on our rainy season. If you come...make certain you take that ride down to Key West! Lots of places to rent a bike for a couple of days.

 

Most are over in 15 min.but this last week they have been monsoons. Just glad I was not on I 75 Saturday for the road block. What a mess all traffic both directions diverted all over Levy and Marion county's . Aquifer getting refilled.

 

The first time that we came to Florida, well the States actually, we were sat in the Florida mall having a smoke in the food hall. Coz it was so busy, we were sharing a table with a local feller. It was hammering down outside, and he apologized to us about the rain.
We told him not to worry because we were so chuffed to be in the States, as we'd been looking forward to it for so long. A bit of rain, coming from England wasn't an issue.
He was quite moved and very chuffed at the same time.
This will be the third trip to Florida, AND it's paid for, so again, we'll be happy just to be in your country/state!!!!!
Thanx for your comments tho,

Damn it, man...we've been hammered up here from Tampa Bay to NPR and all areas surrounding for almost two weeks. That's messed up.
Edit: Wanted to add, English and the Scots, lot of respect for brothers and sisters there. They ride hard, only a few of them left that I still converse with.
Scots take scoots serious, of course they don't care for that heavy **** HD.

 

Well I guess us Brits, unless they're ex-pats (no names mentioned!) are quite used to getting wet a good percentage of the year. Lol
Even more so for the jocks and Irish!
