If you’re new to the area or considering a move to Boca Bayou from up north, you may have heard claims that South Florida has no seasons. Well, we’re here to assure you that’s simply untrue.
If you’ve been living in a Boca Bayou condo by the water for a while, you’ve likely spent many afternoons on the balcony, enjoying the view and the breezes that come through. And if you’ve been paying attention, you’ve probably noticed variations in the weather as the months have passed by.
The Four Seasons
While our seasons in Boca Raton may be more subtle than those in New England or the Midwest, they are certainly worth experiencing.
During summer, the days are long and sunny, seemingly endless. In fall, there is a refreshing crispness in the breeze. In winter, you might find yourself needing a sweater when you sit outside on your balcony or patio at Boca Bayou, observing some of the birds that spend the winter with us. By spring, you can usually pack away those sweaters!
And Enjoy All the Other Seasons at Boca Bayou
In South Florida, we operate under different rules, allowing us to enjoy more than just the traditional four calendar seasons. Throughout the year, we eagerly anticipate several distinct seasons, including:
- The Season: The period that stretches from approximately late November into April is known simply as “The Season.” This is a wonderful time of year when our seasonal residents return to soak up the sunshine and entertainment and social calendars quickly fill up.
- Mango Season: South Florida is one of the few areas in the country where mangos can be grown. The sweet, juicy stone fruit loves our mild winters and warm sun. Some trees ripen sooner than others, so the season usually begins in May and lasts into July. If you’ve never tried a mango, be sure mark your calendar for this delicious season!
- Sea Turtle Nesting Season in Boca Raton: From the beginning of March through the end of October, sea turtles come ashore along Florida’s east coast to lay their eggs. According to our friends at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton, “Three species of sea turtle nest regularly in Boca Raton: leatherback, loggerhead, and green.”
