Weather

There is little that matches the allure of Cape Coral's climate. Where else can you experience Caribbean sunshine, California sunsets, and modern amenities at an affordable price?

The winter season, October through April, offers temperate days, little rain, refreshing breezes, and all the environment you need to enjoy life outside. The grass is green, but rarely needs cutting. The days are sunny, but highs only get to the 80s. The skies are blue.

Summers are warmer - with highs in the 90's and a cooling shower almost every afternoon. But Florida is prepared for the sun. Our buildings are built to remain cool, and every home, business and car has air conditioning. Waterfront property can moderate the temperature, keeping the air moving and cooling the adjacent ground.

Hurricanes

Anywhere you choose to live, there are natural disturbances. In Florida, the news has covered the unusually active hurricane season we had in the past few years. Florida is well prepared for hurricanes, with strict building codes, experienced emergency personnel, and the best technology for spotting and predicting hurricanes before they are anywhere close to the state. Most natural disturbances don't give residents the long warning and preparation time that we have from hurricanes!
