climate

 

The Emerald Coast's climate is one of the area's most valued assets.  An average annual climate of 67.2 degrees provides just enough of a change in the temperature to mark the passing of four mild seasons.

High temperatures in the summer range from 80 to 91 degrees, and winter highs range from 50 to 75.  Rainfall averages between 50 and 60 days per year, so few days are without sunshine for year-round outdoor activities.
