However, these showers do not last long and the sunshine reappears quickly. Nearly all structures in Florida are air-conditioned plus cooling breezes off the Atlantic help keep things pleasant. The most pleasant weather is found in the winter months between November and April when temperatures and humidity are more bearable. Between December and February, things are generally dry and sunny along the southern Atlantic Coast, making it perfect for golf and other outdoor pursuits.
