Best time to visit Tallahassee

Tallahassee is a city of two halves. November scores 85 and July scores 37 — a 48-point swing, which is the difference between a holiday and an endurance test. The month you pick matters more here than almost anywhere. 5 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

July is the warmest month at 33.3 °C and January the coolest at 16.3 °C — a 17 °C spread across the year. 132 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season. 20 nights a year dip below freezing.

There is a real wet season here. June to August carry the rain — up to 23 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, April, October and November drop as low as 7. That 16-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Tallahassee, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 10.2 hours in winter to 14.1 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are November, April, October. The one to think twice about is July. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
