You see, Florida is a peninsula, but all of the weather courses you can take will not satisfactorily explain the climatological changes that take place here. You have to live here year round to discover the patterns.
Along about November, when the snow falls up north, there is a mass exodus of people heading south. So many that they form a vacuum behind their vehicles. This vacuum is filled with the cold northern air and is transported to Florida. This is followed by a slight bump upward in temperature when grandma and grandpa begin the ritual to return north to see the grand kids around Thanksgiving then on to Christmas. By the time they return the air temperature has stabilized with a mixture of warn and cool air.
Along about April, everyone that came down returns home, as if some mysterious body clock says time to migrate. Again, enter the vacuum created behind their rigs during the mass exodus. This vacuum then fills with the warm southern Caribbean air, thus replacing the cool northern air that was here for the last four months. This air temperature shift creates a boundary layer that begins our rainy season.
I hope this helps explain our weather. I tried to explain this to one of our local TV weather anchors a while back. He nearly collapsed from laughter.

You might send this to the weather channel...they need all the help they can get. This morning one of their "on-the-spot" guys was quoting weather forcasting off a local newspaper he was holding in front of himself...real class act.
