The state is divided between two geographical zones: tropical (south of Lake Okeechobee) and subtropical (north). It is warm here, but due to the breezes the temperature does not become unbearable: on average in summer it reaches +26-28 degrees Celsius.
In winter, the temperature varies depending on the cardinal directions: it can range from +12 to +20 degrees. However, don’t think that Florida is a paradise for those who love to laze on the beach all year round.
Due to its proximity to the sea, Florida is sometimes hit by tsunamis, which is especially difficult for residents of the southeast. This is not to mention hurricanes and thunderstorms. The latter often bring with them heavy hail and lightning that strike the water and cities. The spectacle, of course, is beautiful, but scary.
Florida’s special fog
Speaking about climate, one cannot fail to mention the so-called “tsunami clouds”. Unlike Sydney, where a phenomenon with the same name was recorded a year ago, the “tsunami clouds” in Florida are not even clouds. This is a thick white fog rising from the sea and enveloping the entire Panama City. From a distance it looks like really huge waves are covering the city. However, in reality, everything is not so scary. Americans call this phenomenon “Condo Wave Clouds.” Unfortunately, everything happens so quickly that it is very difficult to photograph these beauties.
