Learn moreA humid subtropical climate with real winter cooling
This dataset's Jacksonville Beach research -- directly applicable to Atlantic Beach given the two cities sit only a few miles apart on the same stretch of coast -- describes annual temperatures typically ranging from about 48°F to 89°F, meaningfully cooler in winter than this site's South Florida coverage (Coral Gables, Doral both run winter lows in the 60s-70s).
Wet year-round, wettest in summer
Annual precipitation runs about 53.4 inches per that same regional research, with rain distributed throughout the year but concentrated in heavy summer downpours and afternoon thunderstorms; spring tends to be the driest season locally.
Hurricane season is the defining seasonal risk for a coastal city
Hurricane season runs June through November, with the highest-risk window from August through October. As a coastal city with direct beach access (per its own base-record tags), Atlantic Beach carries real storm-surge and flood exposure that a purely inland Florida city would not -- see taxes-insurance for the resulting flood-insurance cost.
Key takeaways
- Humid subtropical climate with annual temperatures roughly 48°F-89°F, per regional research applicable to this stretch of the Duval County coast -- meaningfully cooler winters than South Florida.
- Annual rainfall runs about 53.4 inches, concentrated in summer thunderstorms; spring is typically driest.
- Hurricane season (June-November, peak August-October) is the defining seasonal risk, with real storm-surge exposure given Atlantic Beach's direct coastal location.
