OUR CLIMATE
Annual highs in the Daytona Beach area average 86 degrees with lows averaging
about 67 degrees resulting in an average mean temperature of 77 degrees. The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of Dept. Commerce explains that
nearness to the ocean results in a climate tempered by the effect of the land
and sea breezes. In the summer, while maximum temperatures reach high into the
90’s during the late morning or early afternoon, thundershowers lower the
temperature to the comfortable eighties. Winters, although subject to invasions
of cold air, are relatively mild due to the nearness of the ocean and
latitudinal locations. Long periods of cloudiness and rain are infrequent,
usually not lasting over 2 or 3 days, and are usually associated with a
stationary front with waves, a so-called “Northeaster”, or tropical disturbance.
There is no significant source in the area for air pollution.
