WEATHER AND CLIMATE Brevard County is swaddled by a humid, sub- tropical climate with hot, humid summers. A distinct dry season lasts from December through May, while the wet season typically runs from June through November. The 72-mile-long, north-south county can see noticeable tem- perature differences, especially in the winter. The ocean moderates coastal weather readings, with higher low temps and lower high temps than regions farther west. January is the coldest month with an average low of 50 degrees and an average high of 71. July and August are the warmest with an average high of 90 degrees and an average low of 72.2. Though on Florida’s eastern peninsula, Brevard County has not suffered from the direct landfalls of hurricanes, unlike other parts of the Panhandle, mainly because of its northerly latitude and the
