ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Orlando tied for the fifth-highest average summer temperature among Florida cities in a new analysis of federal weather data.<\/p>\n

The study<\/a> found Orlando averaged 82.8 degrees during June, July and August from 2020 through 2024. Cape Coral and Pensacola recorded the same average. <\/p>\n

Miami ranked first with an average summer temperature of 84.2 degrees, followed by Tampa at 83.5 degrees and North Port at 83.3 degrees.<\/p>\n

The analysis also listed Orlando\u2019s average humidity at 74.8%, rainfall at 0.269 inches per day and average wind speed at 6.5 mph.<\/p>\n

Researchers said they reviewed hourly observations from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\u2019s Integrated Surface Database and matched each metropolitan area with a nearby weather station.<\/p>\n

Cities were ranked only by average temperature. Humidity, rainfall, wind and sky conditions were included for additional context but did not affect the rankings.<\/p>\n
