Pretty nice but just too much rain. Too warm also. Drop temps about 4-7 degrees and chop the rainfall in half at least. I prefer more thunderstorms in June and July. I like August to be a bit more calm. About 9 precipitation days.
F. WAY WAY WAY too much rain. It should rain maybe 4-5 days out of that span, no more. Anything more than that is way too much.
20-odd days--oh heck no, I'd be looking to fly out of there or else I'd feel like having someone stab me in the eye with an ice pick. Everything would be drenched and soggy and just plain miserable. There is absolutely no way it should rain 20-odd days out of a month, ever, not even 1 time in 20 million years. 4 or 5 days a month is plenty, not a single bit more. Any trees that require that much can just die off for all I care. Last time I checked Phoenix AZ only gets 6 inches of rain in an entire year, and no one's starving over there--in fact, it's one of the 10 most populous cities in the US.
This awesome video from August 2012 shows the dramatic nature of summer weather in Central Florida. There is a thunderstorm bearing down on Daytona Beach, while he is kiteboarding in the sun at an inlet about 10 miles (16 km) to the south. A day with rain is not necessarily a "rainy" day.
By 2:15 you can see the shelf cloud beginning to extend over the beach further down.
Looks like a Florida August. A "real" August not like the 54 degree cloud/drizzle fest I get!
