Climate in Stuart
Stuart shares the same humid subtropical climate as the rest of the Treasure Coast -- mild winters, hot and humid summers, and a hurricane season that runs half the year. A Stuart-specific climate-station pull was not completed this research pass; the figures below draw on the closest reliable proxy, the same regional climate data verified for neighboring Vero Beach and Port St. Lucie.

Learn moreMild winters, hot summers -- a regional pattern
Treasure Coast climate-station data for the immediately adjacent Vero Beach and Port St. Lucie markets (both within about 25 miles of Stuart, at a comparable latitude) shows average annual temperatures in the upper 60s to 70°F, ranging from the mid-50s to mid-60s°F in winter up to the low-to-mid 90s°F in summer, with essentially no snow. Stuart, sitting between those two stations geographically, should be expected to track closely with this same pattern rather than diverge meaningfully from it.
A wet season concentrated May through October
The same regional data shows annual rainfall in the mid-50s to upper-50s inches, well above the roughly 38-inch U.S. average, concentrated heavily in the May-through-October wet season with the wettest months (typically August or September) each averaging 6-8 inches. Movers used to more evenly distributed rainfall elsewhere should expect a genuinely different pattern here: drier winters and springs, frequent heavy summer thunderstorms.
Hurricane season overlaps the wettest months
Atlantic hurricane season runs June through November, peaking August through October -- directly overlapping the wettest stretch of the year. See the taxes-insurance topic for what that exposure means for insurance costs today, and the Gulf Stream's proximity offshore (a real factor in Stuart's charter-fishing identity) does not reduce storm exposure.
Key takeaways
- A Stuart-specific climate-station figure was not independently pulled this session; the estimates here use the verified regional pattern from neighboring Vero Beach and Port St. Lucie as the closest reliable proxy.
- Average annual temperatures likely run in the upper 60s to 70°F, with mild winters (rarely freezing, essentially no snow) and hot, humid summers reaching the low-to-mid 90s°F.
- Annual rainfall likely runs in the mid-50s to upper-50s inches, well above the roughly 38-inch U.S. average, concentrated May through October.
- Hurricane season (June-November, peak August-October) overlaps directly with the wettest months of the year.
