Tampa Sweats Through Another Record-Breaking July: Hottest Month Ever!

July is the hottest month in Tampa’s history, beating the previous milestone set just last year. A stubborn westerly wind and hot nights contributed to the scorching temperatures, with an average of 86.5 degrees. Lack of rain caused an abnormally dry pattern, with Southwest Florida and Tampa Bay experiencing severe or extreme drought conditions. The usual afternoon thunderstorms were prevented by the westerly winds, adding to the heat.

Tampa sizzles with record-breaking temperatures! July witnessed the hottest nighttime temperature ever recorded, clocking in at a scorching 79.7 degrees. This heatwave resulted in soaring daytime temperatures as well. The high overnight temperatures paved the way for even hotter days, creating a sweltering atmosphere.

The heatwave extended beyond Tampa. Plant City experienced its hottest month ever in July, while St. Petersburg had its second hottest July, making it the fourth hottest month on record. The entire Tampa Bay area couldn’t escape the scorching summer heat.
