All quiet on the Weston front

Weston and most of South Florida has a tropical climate - think long, hot, and humid summers, and short, dry, and mild winters, with the odd tropical cyclone thrown into the mix. The dry season starts around late October and runs through to April. It's slightly cooler on the coast, when the ocean breeze drops the temperature a degree or 2. Most Weston vacation rentals come fully equipped with air-conditioning, and sometimes a pool to keep nice and cool. Snowbirds flock to Weston between December and April, making it one of the busier times.

See ya later, alligator

Weston is set on the fringes of the Everglades, the swathe of tropical wetlands which sweep down through southern Florida. There's no better way to explore the Everglades than by airboat, a thrilling, and literally hair-raising ride over the wetlands. Keep your eyes peeled for Florida's most famous residents, the 200,000 alligators that call it their home. There's also a chance to get up close and personal with baby alligators, iguanas, and gopher tortoises at Sawgrass Recreation Park, which has glades and 'gator shows.
