Why You Should Take a Flight to Tampa
With its beautiful beaches, glitzy city centre, vibrant nightlife, buzzing arts scene and wonderful weather, Tampa is the epitome of Florida cool. With year-round sunshine and so many activities to choose from there is never a bad time to visit.
When to Book Flights to Tampa
The most popular time to visit Florida is during the winter months, when temperatures are still warm (averaging around 20°C) and there is little rain. If you plan to visit between November and April be sure to book well in advance. The city gets extra busy during spring break over Easter and during February’s state fair.
Between May and August the temperatures rise and there is more chance of rain. But Tampa is still a popular summer holiday destination for families.
Hurricane season lasts from June until November, but the chance of being hit by a storm are slim.
Perhaps the best time to visit Tampa is in September and October when there are fewer visitors and the weather is cooler.
