First Coast Weather

Here on the First Coast, we are fortunate enough to enjoy miles of beautiful beaches and waterways thanks to lovely temperate weather all year long. Summer temperatures range from the mid-70s to the low-90s but have been known to go well above 90 on a clear summer day. Winters are milder with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to the mid60s, though there have been mornings when First Coast residents have woken up to frost on the car. Summers do see a lot of afternoon rain, but overall, the First Coast weather is quite picturesque from November to April.
