The climate of Cape Canaveral (Florida
- United States of America)
Cape Canaveral is mainly known for the Kennedy Space Center. From here
space shuttles and rockets are launched. However, because of bad
weather many launches have to be postponed. Heavy depressions may
cause high precipitation figures and fierce winds, not the most ideal
circumstances to launch a rocket. From November till April the weather
is mostly sunny and dry and during this period most launches take
place. Cape Canaveral has a subtropical climate with high humidity
figures during the wet season. However, during the rainy season the
sun still shines for 8-9 hours daily while in other places days are
gray and wet during the wet season.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
