The Seasons of St. Augustine

St. Augustine is located in near the far northeastern corner of Florida, along the Atlantic Ocean. Because of its location, December, January, and February can be chilly, with highs in the 50s and 60s, and reaching into the 70s on sunny days.

Spring and fall are our favorite times of the year in St. Augustine, with temperatures in the 60s to 80s.

The summer is hot and humid, but in the historic downtown, you can feel a bit of the sea breezes.
