Weather by month
Clearwater
Florida
A barrier-island beach town with a dry, bracing winter and a summer that trades morning sun for reliable afternoon thunder.
The best time to come
April and May are the best beach weeks of the year — warm water, long light, and the storms not yet organized. October hands you almost the same water with the crowds gone and the humidity finally beaten.
