So far it has been a hot, humid and fairly wet summer which is typical of Ocala weather at this time of year. August should be much like July. At least 90 but seldom over 95. It might be 75 and very humid at 6 am. It can rain 4 or 5 times a week usually in the afternoon.

August is the first month that I consider hurricane season. Although the season starts in June it isn’t until August that ocean temperatures get high enough to feed a hurricane. It is the warm water that provides a hurricane fuel. Ocala isn’t hurricane proof but it is as safe as you can get here in Florida.

Like I always say “The hot humid summers are a small price to pay for no winters”
