What is the best time of year for Vero Beach

[WDWkristin]

Hello!

We want to try out Vero Beach but I don’t know a whole lot about Florida weather and natural elements. This is what I think we are looking for:

Temperature of 70-85
Not enough love bugs to deter us from sitting at the pool or beach
Low(ish) risk of hurricane

Does such a time exist? Is there any other things we should be concerned about?

You should consider the late Fall season (October to early November) since most people are in school or work at that point.

That’s a great question. When do southern American schools end? Where I live they go until about mid-June.

Hurricane season is June-November. The majority of storms will be in September/October but can happen at any time during the season. It’ll also be brutally hot during these months and rainy. Our winters are very nice. December would be a good time. There are potential for cold fronts December-March, but can be some hotter days for sure. March would be a good time with warmer weather not a lot of rain and no hurricanes

no hurricanes

To be fair, they *can* happen any time. They are just more likely during "season".

I want to know as well.

I went overnight last May and had great weather...there was a breeze so not too hot and we didn't encounter any bugs. I loved it there

But now I am bound to the school calendar so can't go in May....and I've seen vlogs from summer saying the bugs are a big problem

I live a couple hours north of Vero and March through May are my favorites temp wise. The humidity is usually lower although some days will be worse than others but it's the drier season here. Beach side will always be cooler than anywhere inland and you get a good breeze until August. IMO Aug-mid Oct are the worst times of year to be in FL. Highest humidity and hurricane risk. If you're from the north your brain says the temp should be getting milder but IRL your face is melting due to the humidity. June and July aren't too bad for a beach trip just expect afternoon thunderstorms and don't overdo it in the sun . Love bugs have kind of disappeared in FL over the last few years so that shouldnt be an issue but I don't know what the mosquito and gnat situation is at Vero

As a Floridian that’s honestly something I had no clue could happen lol

They're more likely if they do develop to stay at sea, but they don't know the calendar. I used to live in NC and needed to follow them also.

We have done early may the last few years. Too late for spring break (not that its crowded) and too early for summer vacation. Have had great weather, no storms and temperate for a day at the beach or the pool.

Early may is your best bet. I also wouldn’t ignore early November as an option.

I used to travel a good bit for work. Stayed a few times at Maison Martinique in Vero. Really loved that property. In fall and winter the weather was very pleasant. Certainly not tropical, but a heck of a lot nicer than a blizzard back home!

To give you an idea, Wunderground.com has a part of their website where you can look up historical temperatures. It goes back years and years and you can see how a particular day/week were in any given year.

Maison Martinique used to have great breakfasts and dinners. Sure it tasted better when on a work tab, but I’d definitely check it out on my own if ever back in that neck of the woods. If staying at Disney would be a nice cruise down A1A, aka Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway.

I blame you for this lol. Never knowing they happened out of season and just saw this haha

I am going in late September, should I be worried

Not worried so much as vigilant. Start checking the National Hurricane Center website https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/occasionally in early September, more frequently as your trip gets closer. Also keep an eye on DISboards - there will be lots of discussion if a storm starts brewing and looks like it might impact Florida.

I am all about early November! We were even “lucky” enough to experience Hurricane Nicole back in 2022. Even with the hurricane, it is by far my favorite time to visit Vero.

I have our first trip there booked in June. Was hoping to catch some sea turtle hatching. Is June a bad time? I was excited for the trip.

we watched some hatchlings come out - I forget if it was June or July, but we have seen it happen!
