Anna Maria Island Weather
The average year-round temperature of Anna Maria Island weather is a perfect 75 degrees F. The Summer is perfect for dipping into the Gulf of Mexico where many consider it to be bathwater since the Gulf waters average 84-86 degrees F. The Summer average temperature on the island is 80 degrees while the Winter temperatures are a bit cooler but perfect for a strong rigorous walk along the beach. Average Anna Marie Island winter temperature is 69 degrees F. If the perfect temperatures have not convinced you then visiting will.

You can see below that rainfall can be dramatically different from month to month however for most natives of the island we do not recognize much of a difference between months. The summer late afternoons are cooled down by a quick 30 – 60 minute afternoon shower. If you are considering visiting Anna Maria Island during the summer and the rainfall bothers you don’t let it. The majority of the rain occurs in the late afternoon and frankly most of the time it’s a nice change of pace to the strong sunny mornings found on Anna Maria.

Anna Maria Island Weather Frequently Asked Questions
Q: We are visiting the week before Christmas. What is the temperature like at this time of year? Would my wife and I be able to lay out at the beach or pool at all?
A: The weather in December is usually in the high 70’s / low 80’s and sunny! The water temperature in The Gulf of Mexico might be a little chilly for swimming, but we have vacation rentals with heated pools.
Q: We are wanting to come down when the weather is nasty & cold here in PA. But still want it to be warm enough in Anna Maria to do all the outside fun things. So would it best to come in Nov or Jan?
A: The average temperature here in January is a nice 65 degrees. So if you want it just a little warmer i’d definitely suggest November. Even us Floridians still swim in the Gulf in November.
Q: We are thinking about renting for a week in March in the Anna Maria, Holmes Beach area. Can you tell me what the temperatures are around the first part of March and are you able to swim in the ocean or is it too cold.
A: While we can never be sure what the next year will bring, I’ll give you my experience this March. The water is still cool in the 60’s, but the temperature and sun get warm enough that you can’t help but get in.
Q: We are thinking of vacationing with 3 families at the end of July. When is your hurricane months and what is the weather like then?
A: Well hurricane season runs from June until November. Usually the time of year you are looking at is hot, but not too crazy. Expect the regular Florida afternoon thundershowers, which sound way scarier than they are. The depth of Hurricane season doesn’t really peak until the end of summer though, so you should be fine!

I have a question about visitng the last week of Sept. I have heard this is your hurricane time? Is this true? I have yet to buy tickets, but have one week booked to stay, and would like to know before I book flights. Thank you.

Hi,
My husband & I visited AMI for the first time in Sept. And we fell in love! We would love to go back down & take our family. We are wanting to go when the weather is nasty & cold here in PA. But still want it to be warm enough in Anna Maria to do all the outside fun things. So would it best to come in Nov or Jan? Or is there another time that would be better?
Well the average temperature here in January is a nice 65 degrees. So if you want it just a little warmer i’d definitely suggest November. Even us Floridians still swim in the Gulf in November. Hope that helps!
Hi,
We are thinking about visiting Anna Maria Island in April 2015. I was looking at the temperatures in April and it said historically they have been in the high 70s and 80s but this year it’s going to be raining and cooler. We really want to be able to enjoy the water when we come. Any comments or thoughts on this?
I’ll say up front that it really depends on the person, but I’ll give you my personal experience. My daughter, 4 years old, and I are already getting our legs in the water, but not swimming. Usually by the end of March we’re back in the water, where our wife usually waits until the end of April/May. Yesterday the high was 82, this weekend it is cooling down, so it will really depend on the weather at that point. I hope that non-answer helps.

While we can never be sure what the next year will bring, I’ll give you my experience this March. The water is still cool in the 60’s, but the temperature and sun get warm enough that you can’t help but get in. My wife, daughter and I all ended up in the water over the weekend. Granted, we didn’t stay in very long, but it was wonderfully refreshing to cool off in. Hope that helps!

what type of activities are available for children ranging in age from 8 to 15 years?
Well first and foremost is the best activity for people of any age, the beach. Even for those that live here year round, you never get tired of it. Beyond that, the Anna Maria Island Community Center and Island Branch Library have a variety of activities for kids every week, and most events have a kid friendly aspect to them.
Hope that helps!
