What January feels like
January is season in full: Fort Myers Beach fills up and the Edison and Ford estates run their busiest tours of the year. Visitors from the Midwest swim anyway, and everyone who lives here waits until March.
Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 67° — brisk but swimmable.
