Clearwater Beach Weather in January

Averages By Month

January Overview


In January you can expect mild highs of 66°F in Clearwater Beach. The Gulf of Mexico, with its current water temperature of 64°F, will probably be too cold to swim in but the stunning beach will invite you to enjoy it whilst simply relaxing on a deck chair, building sandcastles, walking for miles or even cycling!! The Florida sun will shine for 7 hours on average each day in January and there are only 5 days with rain on average. Especially at night it can cool down to 56°F so do bring a jacket in case you are planning some nights out! Hurricane season is far away.

The weather is ideal for enjoying some of the fantastic golf courses around or maybe even taking a trip to the Dali Museum in St. Petersbourg. For those looking to get extra sporty after the holidays, there is a running event you might wish to join!

Best Time to Visit Clearwater Beach

Located in the subtropical climate zone, Clearwater Beach offers hot summers and mild temperatures for the rest of the year. In Winter daytime highs are around 70°F, lows are in the high 50s F and it hardly ever rains.

In spring temperatures are in the pleasant 70s F and the Gulf water has also reached swimming temperatures. In summer it gets very hot, in the mid 80s F, with the humidity making it feel even warmer. It does rain quite a bit too in summer and the peak of the hurricane season is from mid-August to September.

And finally, in fall temperatures get more pleasant in the low 80s F again, humidity and rain reduces and the water is still beautifully warm in the low 80s F. There might still be some storms passing through in fall though.

So given the really nice weather conditions all year round, it’s hard to say when the best time to visit is - maybe it’s better to flip it and say that it might NOT be the best time to visit from July until September given the rain, humidity and slight hurricane risk.

Things to know about Clearwater Beach

Clearwater Beach has been ranked the No. 1 beach in the United States by TripAdvisor. The beaches are wide and endless in length and uniquely white due to the sand’s origins in the mountains rather than shells from the sea. You should experience it to judge the beauty for yourself! Clearwater is a beach vacation destination that’s ideal for families. It offers lovely restaurants and bars but for more intense nightlife you should take a trip to the nearby St. Petersburg or Tampa.
