Florida predicted to be rainier than normal this winter - Vacationers beware!

Farmers' Almanac which is a 192 year old publication and claims a weather predicting accuracy rate of 80-85% is predicting a wetter than normal winter for the Southeast this winter. That means Florida and the Caribbean will get more rain than usual.

My wife, Mary Clare was born in Tampa, Florida. We tell guests that is why our resort is located in sunny Palm Springs and not rainy Florida, because nude sunbathers love the sunshine and we know Florida is the rainiest state in the nation.

Palm Springs averages less than 3 inches of rain a year, major cities in Florida average from 60-66 inches a year. With about 350 days of sunshine a year, vacationing in Palm Springs should be a no brainer. However, the state of Florida has major marketing muscle. They came up with the advertising slogan "Sunshine State" to try to convince naive northerners to take their vacations in Florida, the rainiest state in the nation.

And it works. We hear from so many people complaining about their rainy vacations they took in Florida. When we ask why they went to the rainiest state in the nation, they always say they thought Florida was supposed to be sunny. So vacationers beware!

Here is the prediction:

"LEWISTON, Maine - People worried about the high cost of keeping warm this winter will draw little comfort from the Farmers' Almanac, which predicts below-average temperatures for most of the U.S. ...The almanac's 2009 edition, which goes on sale Tuesday, says at least two-thirds of the country can expect colder-than-average temperatures this winter, with only the Far West [meaning Palm Springs] and Southeast in line for near-normal readings.The almanac predicts above-normal... above-normal precipitation... for the Southeast in January and February. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions will likely have an unusually wet or snowy February, the almanac said....Geiger sticks to his guns, saying the almanac was on target in the 2008 edition when it said the Northeast and the Great Lakes would have a long, cold winter with lots of snow..."
