Climate / Weather

Wherever you are right now, chances are the weather is better here in the Florida Keys. That’s true even on a summer day. The hottest it’s ever been in Key Largo is 97º F (36º C), and that was way back in 1880. At the peak of summer, the average high is 89º F (32º C). We don’t have any super-highways or urban sprawl to radiate the sun’s heat. Not only that, but our islands are surrounded by cooling ocean waters.

Wise Floridians from the mainland flock to the Keys on steamy weekends because the air is usually a few degrees cooler here. The water temperature might be in the mid-80s (30º C) but the sea is nevertheless refreshing for swimming, snorkeling or diving. In the winter, cold fronts can bring frost to mainland Florida, but you can be sure there will be no frost here. The all-time record low for Key Largo is 41º F (5º C) set in 1981. Divers or snorkelers usually get by with a “shortie” wet suit.

During these winter months, it almost never rains. By late May, however, the season's first thundershowers start popping up. Rarely do they stick around long enough to spoil an entire day. You might be wondering about the Atlantic hurricane season, which can affect the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States as well as the Caribbean and the Bahamas. The official hurricane season begins June 1st and ends on November 30. Traditionally, the highest potential for storms is between Aug. 15 and Oct. 15. However, the daily weather during this period tends to be some of the most beautiful of the year.

From Miami International Airport:

Take LeJeune Rd to 836 West to Florida's Turnpike South, when Turnpike ends, take US1 South to Key Largo.

Scuba-Fun is in the median on US 1 at mile marker 99.2, in the tall building with the famous underwater mural by Wyland.

A hint for your drive: don't take US1 from the Miami airport, just follow the signs to the Turnpike South and take it to the end. This may cost you a few dollars but will save you at least an hour of driving time.

From Ft. Lauderdale International Airport:

Take 595 West to Florida's Turnpike South, when Turnpike ends, take US1 south to Key Largo.
