May and November are transition months. Key West's published normals list an annual average maximum temperature of 83.7°F, mean of 78.9°F, minimum of 74.0°F, and 40.44 inches of rain.

Climate is part of the destination's story

Key West's beauty comes with exposure. Rising seas, persistent flooding, warmer water, and stronger hurricanes are reshaping the future of a low island at the end of a long chain. A forecast helps with this week's plans. It does not capture the larger reality that Key West, like New Orleans and other climate-vulnerable places, cannot be assumed to remain unchanged indefinitely.
