Visiting Fort Myers in early to mid-June can be enjoyable, but it’s important to understand the typical weather and plan accordingly, especially with kids. June is the beginning of Florida’s summer season and also the start of the wet season, so heat and thunderstorms are common.
Weather considerations:
- Temperature: Average highs in Fort Myers in June are around 90°F (32°C), with nighttime lows around 74°F (23°C). The heat can feel intense, especially for children.
- Humidity: Humidity is high, which can make the temperature feel hotter. Sun protection and frequent hydration are essential.
- Rain/Thunderstorms: June often has afternoon thunderstorms. These can be brief but heavy, sometimes causing temporary disruption to outdoor plans. Morning activities are typically drier.
- Hurricane season: Officially starts June 1, but major storms in early June are uncommon. Still, it’s good to keep an eye on forecasts.
Planning tips for kids and resorts:
- Choose a resort with indoor amenities such as pools, game rooms, or kid-friendly activities, so downtime is enjoyable even during rain.
- Plan outdoor beach or pool activities for mornings and early afternoons before thunderstorms are more likely.
- Bring sun protection including hats, lightweight long-sleeve shirts, and sunscreen, and keep water readily available.
- Have a flexible schedule to accommodate short rain breaks—many resorts have covered areas and scheduled indoor activities.
- Consider nearby attractions such as the IMAG History & Science Center or Edison & Ford Winter Estates, which are enjoyable even if rain interrupts outdoor plans.
Summary:
Visiting Fort Myers in early to mid-June is not a bad idea, but be prepared for heat, humidity, and afternoon showers. Resorts with both outdoor and indoor amenities make the trip more comfortable for kids, and planning activities around the weather will help ensure everyone has a fun and safe vacation.
