Best time to visit Tampa

November is the best month in Tampa, scoring 89 out of 100, with August the weakest at 47. The 42-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 6 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

June is the warmest month at 30.8 °C and January the coolest at 20.2 °C — a 10.6 °C spread across the year. Around 110 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in June and the months either side.

There is a real wet season here. June to September carry the rain — up to 29 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, April, November and December drop as low as 6. That 23-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Tampa, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 10.4 hours in winter to 13.9 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

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