When Is South Florida’s Wet Season?
The National Weather Service generally identifies May 15 through October 15 as the regional wet season, when a large share of annual rainfall occurs. Indoor leaks can still occur year-round.
Inspect roof, window and AC drainage maintenance needs before frequent seasonal rain.
Which information is reliable for a specific property?
Official address-based records, direct property observations and current municipal guidance provide more useful evidence than broad claims about entire neighborhoods. Avoid assuming a past incident or level of risk from a ZIP code alone.
How does this connect to interior water restoration?
Weather or drainage may explain an external water source, but the water’s entry point, contamination and damage inside the building determine appropriate mitigation steps. Interior pipe and appliance leaks require a different source-control response.
