Climate & Weather in Palm Beach Gardens
Palm Beach Gardens has a subtropical climate: hot, humid, wet summers; short, mild winters; and abundant sunshine year-round. The defining seasonal risk is Atlantic hurricane season, which shapes insurance costs, moving timing, and building codes across the city.

Average high temperatures reach roughly 91°F in July, while average lows dip to around 55°F in January -- summers run hot, humid, and frequently cloudy with afternoon storms, while winters are short, comfortable, and windier with more partly cloudy stretches, per multiple climate-data aggregators (Weather Spark, Current Results).
Rainfall and Sunshine
Palm Beach Gardens receives about 63 inches of rain per year on average, with August the wettest month at roughly 253mm (about 10 inches). The area sees measurable precipitation on about 142 days per year, alongside roughly 237 sunny days annually -- a genuinely wet-and-sunny climate rather than one or the other.
Hurricane Season
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, peaking in August and September. One forecaster estimate cites a "serious" hurricane striking the area roughly once every ten years -- a rough historical planning estimate, not a guarantee about any specific year. See insurance-hazard-costs for what that risk means for coverage costs and flood-zone requirements, and moving for how it can affect relocation timing.
Everyday Water Exposure Beyond Named Storms
Flat terrain, a high water table, and stormwater-system capacity limits mean intense summer afternoon thunderstorms -- a near-daily occurrence in the wettest months -- can cause localized street flooding even well outside hurricane season and even in areas not mapped as high-risk flood zones.

- Average highs reach about 91°F in July; average lows dip to about 55°F in January -- a subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and short, mild winters.
- Palm Beach Gardens averages about 63 inches of rain per year across roughly 142 days of measurable precipitation, alongside about 237 sunny days annually; August is the wettest month.
- Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1-November 30, peaking August-September; one estimate cites a "serious" hurricane roughly once per decade as a rough historical planning figure, not a per-year guarantee.
- Intense summer afternoon thunderstorms can cause localized flooding independent of hurricanes, due to flat terrain, a high water table, and stormwater capacity limits -- a real everyday consideration, not just a storm-season one.
