Natural Disaster Information

  1. Hurricanes and Tropical Storms

    • Fort Myers is located along the Gulf Coast and is at high risk of direct and indirect impacts from hurricanes and tropical storms.
    • During the Atlantic hurricane season (June 1 to November 30), damage from strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surge can occur.
    • There have been direct landfall cases, such as Hurricane Ian in 2022, so special caution is advised.
  2. Heavy Rain and Flooding

    • In summer (June to September), strong showers and tropical storms frequently occur due to the hot and humid climate.
    • Heavy rainfall in a short period can cause flooding in low-lying or coastal areas.
  3. Thunderstorms and Lightning

    • Florida is known for frequent strong thunderstorms and lightning during the summer.
    • There may be risks of gusty winds, lightning strikes, and hail, so caution is necessary.
  4. Tornadoes

    • While Florida does not experience tornadoes as frequently as "Tornado Alley" in the Midwest, there is a possibility of tornadoes occurring alongside hurricanes or tropical storms.
  5. Heatwave

    • It is very common for daily high temperatures to exceed 90°F (about 32°C) in summer, and the high humidity significantly increases the perceived temperature.
    • Special attention should be paid to heatstroke prevention, adequate hydration, and UV protection, especially for the elderly or during outdoor activities.
If you plan to travel to or reside in Fort Myers, it is recommended to understand the seasonal climate characteristics and natural disaster risks in advance to prepare your schedule and clothing accordingly.
