Dunnellon Weather & Climate

The Central West Coast just northwest of Tampa Bay, enjoys a semi tropical climate with warm Gulf breezes and plenty of sunshine - 361 days of sun per year. Although thunderstorms are frequent in summertime, they are short in duration and the sun quickly reappears behind the clouds. However, hot temperatures, along with the rain and the Gulf of Mexico help contribute to high humidity levels during this time, as well. June through September receives the most rain, with the rest of the year being pretty dry by comparison. Many believe the most pleasant weather is found during the winter months between November and March when the humidity becomes more bearable and winds from the Bay and Gulf help moderate the temperatures.
