Field notes
Humid subtropical (Gulf Coast) — winter (December–February, 16–17°C average) is genuinely mild and the postcard working window. Summer (May–September) is brutally humid with daily afternoon thunderstorms. Hurricane season (June–November) brings real risk — Helene 2024 and Milton 2024 were the most recent major reset events. Sea-water temperatures stay swimmable May–November.
