The year, day by day
The year in Tavernier runs from a mild 64°F around January 13 to 90°F at the peak near August 2, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from August 2 through August 13, covering 12 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs January 1 to December 31.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 64°F around January 13.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is September 15, when 45% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is February 12 at 15%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 97 wet dates a year.
The widest day
February 1 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 12°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Tavernier Stands Nationally
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 12°F.

Tavernier spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 34% of the annual total and December through February 14%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Tavernier has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry an unusually narrow 14.9°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: September averages 8.0" and March 1.6". The three wettest months together take 43% of the year, against the 25% a perfectly flat distribution would give them.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. "Spread across the year" means neither the June-August nor the December-February share reaches 35%; it describes an average year, not the variability of any single one.
When it rains in Tavernier, it arrives in quantity
45.0" of precipitation falls across only about 96 wet days here, averaging 0.47 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 96 a year, 26% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.47 inches
- Most wet days
- September, about 13
- Fewest wet days
- February, about 4
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.
Tavernier's record shows no measurable snowfall
This station measured snowfall across the 1991-2020 period and recorded none: the annual normal is 0.0 inches. That is a measured zero rather than missing data, which is a meaningful distinction here , most stations in the database simply do not report snow at all, and those pages say nothing about it.
A thirty-year normal of zero describes the typical year at this station. It is not a claim that snow has never fallen in the area.

Data-derived climate profile
How Tavernier's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · moderate · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Tavernier. Cooling totals 4,750 degree days, more than double the 73 heating measure, and the 14.9°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Tavernier's 45.0 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
Temperature varies within a narrow 14.9°F band across the normal year. July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 78°F. Monthly rows still matter, but they refine a steady profile rather than reveal two climatic extremes.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Tavernier. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Tavernier's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. For Tavernier that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.
