Everyone assumes that Florida is hot all year round. Well, even though we don't have 4 seasons, it is not pool weather all year round. From about December to March we get cold fronts whipping in from the north, and although it does not reach teeth chattering temperatures there are nights, and even days where the mercury can drop down into the 30's. But, other than the cold months, Florida of course has its infamous rainy season, and with the rain comes thunder and lightning, FLorida is of course the lightning capital of the world. August is the rainiest month (also the peak of hurricane season), and we all know water and electricity don't mix, so I would not recommend a pool home when it is known to be extremely rainy with thunder and lightning.
