The climate of Jacksonville (Florida
- United States of America)
Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida. The city was named after
the first governor of the city General Andrew Jackson. During history
the city was under Indian, French (their fortress can still be found
in the city) and Spanish rule until it became part of the United
States. Besides several historic sites a 30 kilometer long beach can
be enjoyed here. Just like the rest of Florida Jacksonville has a
subtropical climate. Summers are warm. Temperatures may rise as high
as 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) which may cause heavy
thunderstorms. Most precipitation falls during the summer. During the
winter subzero temperatures are uncommon, this only occurs during a
few nights per year. Because Jacksonville is located in the northern
part of Florida the risk of hurricanes is not as high here as it is in
other parts of this state.

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:
