Why We Love Our Floridays Weather

Posted on by

People often confuse weather and climate but they are different. Weather refers to the conditions of the atmosphere over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere is over long periods of time. Then there’s the powerful Gulf Stream that transports nearly 4 billion cubic feet of water per second, nearly 300 times faster than the flow of the Amazon River, and its effect on weather and climate. 

Welcome to Floridays RV Park located in subtropical Martin County, Florida, where we enjoy a great climate all year round — well, almost. Warm breezes that originate in the Gulf of Mexico make a northeasterly curve around the tip of Florida and up the eastern seaboard, skirting offshore at Martin County before making a dogleg flow out to sea. 

Named the Florida Current, these warm waters rarely fall below 75 degrees F, even during the winter months. When easterly winds move over this warm water the effect is that winter temperatures in Martin County are milder than anywhere else in the SE United States. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 56°F to 89°F and is rarely below 42°F or above 93°F.

On top of our mild winters and subtropical climate, Hobe Sound to the locals is simply “paradise.” This small, colorful community with clean air and ocean breezes has no pollution, no smog, and offers all who live or visit here stunning sunsets over uncrowded beaches and sunrises that rival the best in the world.

Floridays in the Summer

Floridays RV Park enjoys tropical Caribbean-like weather year-round. This is because of our unique location on the Atlantic coast of Florida alongside the Gulf Stream. The current moderates the climate, making summers cooler and winters warmer. Gulf breezes are year-round, giving us plenty of sunny summer days with an overall average high temperature of 83 degrees Fahrenheit and an average low of 67 degrees. We see a few 90-degree days, but normally stay close to the comfort range. 

The Gulf Steam’s influence on nature is amazing. Its eddies and cross current flush out coastal areas giving us cleaner water. Marine life abounds, carried up from the Caribbean along Florida’s east coast. Corals colonize the reefs, and that brings the fish.

Humidity can be high in the summer, and afternoon rains are frequent. However, the rain clouds are usually “just passing over.” Locals refer to the summer rains as “Florida Car Washes” and they also keep RVs cleaner. Another advantage is our sandy soil that tolerates the extra water without the muddy conditions experienced elsewhere.

Sperling’s Best Places gives Martin County 5 Stars for Best Places. For fishermen, bird watchers, and outdoor adventurers, Hobe Sound is paradise.
