Try this link - just put in the city on interest and read on.

FWIW, Key West has an average high temp the first couple weeks of about 88 degrees. Humidity levels will be quite high as well giving a "feels like" time several degrees warmer.

Remember you'll be experiencing some rather intense sunlight most of the day that time of the year...dress accordingly or burn.

It will be warm, for sure. Went in February and couldn't ask for better weather.

HOT!!!!!!!


It will be hot (90s) and sticky (80-90% humidity) in June. Use sunblock, wear longsleeve t-shirts and hats or start saving money for skin grafts. Sunburns that can lead to melanomoas are no joke.


Rain is a distinct possibility as well.

It is south Florida. We hit 90 last weekend.
The 2nd week of April will be cooler for sure, but can still get hot.
June could be torture on a bike in slow traffic in the keys.

US 1 down to the keys is a two lane road. Weekend and holidays are MURDER. And to top it off somebody always forgets to tie down thier boat properly and it falls off the trailer...can you imagine the mess that causes on a two lane bridge. If there is a wreck youll die..they cant even get an ambulance to the victims, they have to bring a chopper in...another thing, drunks seem to always walk into traffic and get ran over...Id travel on weekdays in and out if I were you and avoid holidays and bring lots of $$$. Other than that the overseas hwy is a beautiful ride....thee green colored gulf on the right and the blue atlantic on the left.....when you drive south of Florida City you feel like you left the country almost. Keep your woman close by and beware of people buying you jello shooters.

April will be cooler and also have less humidity.


June-Sept are the absolute WORST months to visit anywhere in South Florida. Hot hot hot and humid humid humid.

Sounds great. I'm making the ride from a Orlando to Key West on a rental Harley the first week of June.
