The climate of Tampa (Florida
- United States of America)
Tampa is located in Tampa Bay on the Gulf of Mexico. It is the largest
city in the Tampa Bay Area to which a number of other cities belong
including St Petersburg and Clearwater. No less than four airports can
be found here as well as a train station and a large seaport. Because
of this Tampa is the center of transportation for the region. The city
itself has only little to offer. Tampa has a subtropical climate. the
city is located on the so-called palm tree line. From this point the
climate is warm enough for palm trees to grow. During the summer
average temperatures in Tampa are 28 degrees Celsius (82 degrees
Fahrenheit). Because of the interaction between air currents over the
Gulf of Mexico and those above the Atlantic Ocean many thunderstorms
occur here, especially from May till October. Most lightning-related
injuries and deaths occur in the Tampa Bay Area. During the winter
subzero temperatures may occur. However, this doesn’t occur on a
yearly basis. Snowfall is uncommon here.

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:
