Average Tampa Weather
Summer is hot, humid and muggy. Winter is ideal in Tampa - with temperatures hanging around 60 or 70. During spring (March-May), temperatures go up and make way for the summer heat. This is a nice time to visit. Throughout July and August, temperatures hit 90 degrees and the humidity is thick.
Transportation
When in Tampa do as the Tampa folks do - drive a car. A car is the best and most convenient way to get around Tampa. I-75 and U.S. 41 stretch the length of the region. U.S. 41 links the business districts of many communities, so it's best to avoid it and all bridges during rush hours. U.S. 19 is St. Petersburg's major north-south artery; traffic can be heavy, and there are many lights, so use a different route when possible.
In-Season Costs
Tampa's high season is during the winter. Most hotel prices escalate at this time of year, but tend to dip back down during the late spring and summer.
