Those unused umbrellas hidden away in a cars and closets are likely in line for a good workout as early as Monday.
Let’s call that good news, OK? Actually, it’s a double-dose of good news.
First, Mother’s Day should not be impacted. Second, when it comes to the weather, any rain in the forecast is welcome right now based on the severe drought conditions that has plagued Southwest Florida so far in 2025.
Florida weather forecast: How much rain will Naples get?
According to meteorologist George Rizzuto at the National Weather Service in Miami, SWFL and Naples will be entering a couple days of wet weather on Monday (May 12) and Tuesday (May 13) with the most widespread rain expected on Monday (May 12).
“This will hopefully make at least a dent in the severe drought conditions we’ve been experiencing,” Rizzuto said.
In terms of rainfall totals, Rizzuto said a fair estimate would be about 2-3 inches total Monday morning through Wednesday morning in the Naples area.
“We’re still a few days out so there is still some time for the forecast to change a bit, but as things stand now, northern Florida is anticipated to get the higher rainfall totals,” he said.
When does rainy season start in Florida?
Rizzuto said Florida’s rainy season begins on May 15 (based on climatology).
Is this storm the start of rainy season?
“I can’t really declare the official start based on one or two rainy days, Rizzuto said, “as this is so variable from year to year. I’d better describe the beginning of the rainy season as a gradual trend towards daily showers and thunderstorms through the beginning and middle of May rather than one specific event. Overall as we head further into May, daily showers and thunderstorms and rainy stretches like this will become more and more common and are pretty typical for this time of year.”
