Summers, from June to August, are hot and humid with temperatures reaching up to 91°F (33°C). Thunderstorms, caused by high levels of humidity, bring heavy rainfall during the summer months.
Hurricanes and tropical storms can occur in Jacksonville and may be dangerous. In the case of a storm or hurricane, it's important to follow any warnings or directives issued by local authorities.
