Tampa Forum: What to do in Tampa When It Rains???

Don't worry about forecasts for rain. Our summer storms - if they come at all - tend to be mid-late afternoon, and come and go quickly. You could duck into a bar when the clouds break open, and by the time you finish your drink, the sun will be out again.

We joke that on June 1, the TV weather guys put up a graphic that shows high 90, low 76, 40% chance of rain 7 days a week until mid-October... It is very rare that we get an entire day of rain.

Sophie...that was great! We often laugh about how easy the weather dudes have it here during the summer: hot, humid with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms! You're right...the same forecast straight through October! I think that's why they all get so exicted when there's a hurricane on the way....it gives them something to do!!

Thanks for the chuckle on here!!

It's the one job where you can be incorrect so often and still keep your job. LOL.

Glad I could brighten your day. :)
