South-Central Florida Climate Recommendations
Most of central and southern Florida has a humid subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers and mild winters. Some very southern parts of the state, including Miami, have a tropical climate, with a steadier year-round temperature. Heavy rainfall and hurricanes are not uncommon in Florida, so consider window finishes and materials that can help stand up to humidity and salty air.
