Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Ft Myers Sw Fl Rgnl Ap) averages 0.4 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against. Heat is the governing season: about 119 days a year reach 90°F and 0 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies.

Annual precipitation is about 53 inches, with 15 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Cooling dominates the year: about 3,933 cooling degree days against 268 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates.

Estero is about 5 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote.
