April is the last true full month of the Florida dry season; in fact, April is tied with November as the month with fewest days with measurable rainfall for central Florida. This dryness is likely a result of the fact that the jet stream is retreating north meaning there are fewer winter-like systems affecting Florida, and the near daily showers and storms of summer have not yet become established. With regard to temperatures, April continues the transition from winter to summer with a trend toward warmer temperatures as the month wears on.
