Climate in Lutz

Tampa Bay area normals put the average annual temperature around 74°F, with daily highs averaging 83°F and lows averaging 66°F across the year, per National Weather Service Tampa Bay (weather.gov/tbw) and WeatherSpark's aggregation of Tampa International Airport data. January, the coolest month, averages a high of about 71°F and a low around 52°F; July and August, the hottest months, average highs around 91°F with overnight lows near 77°F. Freezing temperatures are rare.
Rainfall and the Wet Season
Annual precipitation across the Tampa Bay area averages about 49.48 inches, with roughly 60% of it falling during the June-through-September wet season in the form of near-daily afternoon thunderstorms, per NWS Tampa Bay data. Winters and springs run comparatively dry by contrast.
Hurricane Season
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, overlapping the wettest months of the year. Lutz's inland position within Hillsborough County reduces direct storm-surge exposure relative to the coastal cities in this dataset, but it remains fully exposed to hurricane-force wind and heavy rainfall -- see the taxes-insurance topic for how that shapes flood-zone and insurance planning.
