As usual let’s look at last months weather first. May was unusually warm as has been the pattern this year. The wet season also seems to have started early this year. I was forced to run my AC on and off all month.

Now that June has started the humidity is back and will stick around until October. It’s also the wet season with afternoon thunderstorms. In the afternoons wind off the Atlantic collides with breezes off the Gulf and thus destabilizes the atmosphere causing storms. These storms are very hit or miss and only last a short time but can dump a lot of rain very fast. It’s also the beginning of Hurricane season. Although the most action is in late August and September once the ocean water is at it’s warmest Hurricanes feed off the warm water. Ocala is probably the least hurricane prone city in Florida. So far at least.
