What January feels like
Gasparilla lands late in the month and the whole city dresses as pirates while a mock invasion sails up the bay; Bayshore Boulevard closes and fills. Once in a while a front pushes down hard enough to put frost on windshields north of town, and people talk about it for weeks.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 64° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
