Fort Myers sits on Florida's southwest Gulf Coast, where the climate divides sharply into two seasons: a hot, humid wet season from May through October and a warm, dry season from November through April. Summers are intensely hot, with temperatures regularly climbing into the low 90s°F and afternoon thunderstorms arriving almost daily — sometimes lasting only 30 minutes, sometimes longer. Humidity makes the heat feel heavier than the thermometer suggests, so breathable fabrics are essential from June through September. Winters are genuinely mild and sunny, with daytime highs in the 70s°F and cooler evenings that occasionally dip into the 50s°F, particularly in December and January. Locals dress casually year-round, leaning toward resort-casual and beach-ready outfits. You'll see plenty of linen, chambray, and moisture-wicking fabrics at restaurants along McGregor Boulevard or while exploring the Edison and Ford Winter Estates. Even in the coolest months, a light jacket or cardigan is usually enough for evenings. Fort Myers is not a city where heavy coats or boots are standard — visitors who over-pack for cold weather are typically caught off guard by how warm winter afternoons feel here.
