This has been a crazy year for Ocala Florida weather. This winter set records for cold weather and now this summer is on pace to be one of the 10 hottest on record.  In July 21 out of 31 days were above normal. Rain has been about average but it seemed a little on the dry side at my house.

Here’s a link to an interesting weather article in the Starr Banner .

August weather should be in the low 90’s during the day and the low 70’s at night with regular afternoon thunderstorms. August is not the last month of summer here in Ocala. Both September and most of October are summer months.

August is also the month when hurricane season really gets rocking and rolling. The ocean temperatures are reported to be higher than normal, which is what fuels hurricanes, so it should be an interesting year. Ocala is probably the safest place to be in Florida during hurricane season but we do get tropical storm force winds and torrential rain.
