Looking for the perfect place to spend your Florida vacation? Consider Anna Maria Island, a seven-mile stretch of land right off the coast of Florida. This incredible island maintains that “Old Florida” feel that so many cities in the Sunshine State have forgotten, making it the perfect vacation for a family getaway or a romantic weekend with your partner.
Before you can start booking one of our Anna Maria Island vacation rentals, however, you need to decide when you want to visit. Luckily, the weather in Anna Maria Island is favorable all year long, so you’re in for a treat no matter what season you come! Here’s a little more about what to expect.
Fall
Fall in Anna Maria Island is one of our favorite seasons. For the months of September, October, and November, low temperatures stay in the 70s while high temperatures stay in the 80s.
The mornings and evenings bring a nice cool reprieve, but the warm weather midday still allows you to experience the best outdoor activities and watersports.
As far as rain, you might experience a shower or two if you vacation during September, since the average daily chance of precipitation is around 40%. If you visit in October or November, though, that chance drastically drops to around 15%.
Winter
Many people love spending winter in Anna Maria Island to take part in the wonderful holiday celebrations on our shores. If you visit during the winter months of December, January, and February, expect low temperatures in the 60s and high temperatures in the 70s. January is the coldest month of the year here, so you’ll want to bring some long sleeve shirts, but the weather is still preferable to many areas of the U.S. during this season.
Luckily, winter is considered the dry season for Anna Maria Island. Throughout the entire season, the daily chance of precipitation is only around 20%, so it’s not likely that a midday shower will ruin any of your plans.
Spring
Spring in Anna Maria Island is truly a gorgeous time of year, as the weather starts to warm back up and the feeling of summer creeps in. In the spring months of March, April, and May, average daily lows stay in the 60s and 70s, while high temperatures remain in the 70s and 80s. Typically, by the end of May, it already feels like summer!
May is the beginning of the wet season in Anna Maria Island, but if you visit during March or April, rain chances are as low as 20% each day. Towards the end of May, however, that chance jumps up to around 40%. Be sure to bring an umbrella or light jacket if you’re traveling around Memorial Day Weekend!
