My wife and I are anxious yet apprehensive regarding our dream to move to TV next spring. When I look at the weather on my phone, it seems that there are storms everyday. We are familiar with the 1 hour storms every afternoon on the beach in the summer, is this the same thing that happens in TV?

Summer in FL is the "rainy season" so rain or thundershowers are in the forecast of every day. That said, doesn't mean it will rain where you are every day. We've found it can "look" threatening with dark clouds etc then they're gone and the sun is shining once again. Folks here can't gauge it as they might of "up north". Our weather here mostly comes from the sea-breezes that we have from either side of the state. Intensity (I think I heard somewhere) comes when these systems collide. I'd much rather live here in Central FL than anywhere else in the state.

Basically, the answer in the summer is YES. Afternoon thunderstorms are very much the norm. This is a semi-tropical climate, after all.

From May-October, you will get daily t-storms. It's the wet season. Throw in an occasional tropical storm or wave, maybe even a passing hurricane! During the winter, we're lucky to see an inch of rain a month.

The storms are powerful and incredible - to be respected, enjoyed, but not feared.

Yes, in the summer, it does rain somewhere in Central Florida every day! But that doesn't mean it rains all day, everywhere, every day. 50% coverage means 50% of the area will get rain on any certain day, but not everyone will get rain. When it says 100%, you can guarantee getting rain on that day.

Also,we NEED our rain in the summer. We are sub tropical. We don't get rain much in the winter.

Enjoy Central Florida! And remember, when the sea breezed crash together, we'll get rain!

If it weren't for the relief the rain brings, we would have feels-like temps of 100 degrees for six straight months.
