Summer temperatures in the area reach into the 80s and 90s (cooling into the 60s and 70s at night), and winters see temperatures in the 60s and 70s.  Rains average 5 to 10 inches per month (the five month summer period brings the majority of the rain), and average relative humidity ranges between 70% and 85%.   It should be pointed out, too, that the city has been in the path of hurricanes and was struck by two recent ones, Katrina and Wilma, both in 2005.
