Other Normals - Florida Climate Center

This table expresses both a maximum wind speed (SP) for the stations and, where available, the direction (DR), referenced to true North, from which it blew. If the direction is expressed as one of the 16 compass points (N, NNE, NE, etc.) the maximum speed is calculated from the minimum time during which one mile of wind passed the station. If the direction is expressed numerically, the maximum speed is the highest one minute average value recorded by the observer. Direction is given in tens of degrees clockwise from true North. Data through 2020; periods of record vary.

The relative humidity is expressed as a percentage measure of the amount of moisture in the air compared to the maximum amount of moisture the air can hold at the same temperature and pressure. Average humidity values are given for selected morning and afternoon observations. Maximum relative humidity values usually occur during morning hours. The Local Standard Time (LST) of morning (m) and afternoon (a) humidity values are shown below. The period of record varies but is generally through the year 2018.

Average relative humidity data were provided by the National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville, NC.
