As you might expect, however, it&#8217;s warmer in the South and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usclimatedata.com\/climate\/fort-myers\/florida\/united-states\/usfl0152\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Southwest Florida<\/a> has nearly perfect weather seeing an average high in the summer of 29\u00b0C (84\u00b0F), rising to a potential 33\u00b0C (92\u00b0F). The winters are mild, seeing temperatures from 13-23\u00b0C (the mid-50s-mid-70s F) and very little rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Beaches<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gulf Coast is known for its laid-back, family-friendly beaches and calm waters.
