Naples Weather Overview

Naples sits on Florida's Southwest Gulf Coast in Collier County, where warm tropical air and flat coastal terrain create some of the most active weather in the state. The Naples weather radar is essential here — with about 54 inches of annual rainfall, most of it falling in powerful summer thunderstorms between June and September, keeping the Naples weather radar open on your phone is just common sense.

Hurricanes pose the greatest threat. Hurricane Ian (2022) made landfall as a Category 4 near Cayo Costa, driving storm surge of 12 to 18 feet into Collier County and causing catastrophic flooding across the Naples metro area. Hurricane Irma (2017) hit Marco Island just south of Naples as a Category 3 with 142 mph gusts. The NWS Miami office (WFO MFL), which covers Naples, issues watches and warnings for Gulf tropical systems. Checking the Naples weather radar during hurricane season is how you stay ahead of rapidly intensifying storms.

Beyond hurricanes, the Naples weather radar picks up severe thunderstorms that roll through almost daily from June through September, producing dangerous lightning, flash flooding, and occasional waterspouts offshore. Naples sits at just 7 feet above sea level, so even moderate rain can overwhelm drainage fast. Winter months are dry and mild, but rare cold fronts push temperatures into the 40s. Use the Naples weather radar to track summer squall lines, approaching tropical systems, and everything in between.

Naples Weather Risks & Safety

Key weather hazards to monitor on the Naples weather radar

Hurricane & Tropical Storm Risk

Naples sits in the path of Atlantic and Gulf tropical systems. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, peaking in August and September when warm sea surface temperatures fuel rapid intensification. On the radar, you can track the eye wall, rain bands, and embedded tornadoes as a storm approaches. If you live in Naples, keep your evacuation plan current and check the radar frequently once a tropical advisory is issued.

Flooding & Flash Flood Risk

Flash flooding is Naples's most persistent weather hazard. Slow-moving thunderstorms or tropical moisture can dump enough rain to overwhelm drainage systems within hours — especially in paved urban areas where water has nowhere to go. Check the radar to see where the heaviest rain is falling and which areas to avoid. The standing rule: turn around, don't drown. Never drive through flooded roads, even if they look shallow.

Severe Thunderstorm Risk

Severe thunderstorms roll through Naples regularly, especially spring through early fall. Expect damaging winds above 58 mph, large hail, and dangerous lightning. The radar shows you each storm cell's position, movement, and intensity — so you can tell if one is headed your way. When a thunderstorm warning drops for Naples, get indoors and away from windows until it passes.

Extreme Heat Risk

Summers in Naples get dangerously hot — heat indices regularly push past 100°F, and heat waves can last for weeks. When the radar shows clear skies with no storm activity for days, that usually means the heat is building. Outdoor workers, elderly residents, and anyone without reliable AC are most at risk. Stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours, and check on neighbors who might be struggling.

How to Use Naples Weather Radar

Follow these steps to get the most from the Naples weather radar data.

Check Current Conditions

Open the Naples weather radar page and look at the current temperature, humidity, and wind data at the top. In Naples, watch for sudden humidity spikes and south wind shifts — those often signal an incoming Gulf thunderstorm.

Read the Radar Map

Scroll to the live doppler radar. Green means light rain, yellow is moderate, and red or purple means heavy downpours — common during Naples summer storms. Use the animation to see which direction cells are moving across Collier County.

Check Hourly and 7-Day Forecasts

Review the hourly forecast to plan around afternoon storms, which typically hit Naples between 2 PM and 6 PM in summer. The 7-day view helps you spot approaching tropical systems during hurricane season.

Set Up Regular Checks

Bookmark this page for quick access. During hurricane season (June through November), check the Naples weather radar at least twice daily. When a tropical advisory is issued for the Gulf, increase that to every few hours.

Naples Weather FAQ

Common questions about Naples weather patterns and radar

When is hurricane season in Naples, Florida?

Hurricane season in Naples runs from June 1 through November 30, with peak activity between August and October. Naples sits on the Southwest Florida coast directly in the path of Gulf storms. Hurricane Ian struck nearby Cayo Costa as a Category 4 storm in September 2022, pushing storm surge of 12 to 18 feet into parts of Collier County. Hurricane Irma hit Marco Island just south of Naples as a Category 3 in 2017 with 142 mph gusts.

How often does Naples, FL get flooding?

Flooding is one of the most frequent weather hazards in Naples. The city sits at just 7 feet above sea level with flat terrain and heavy tropical moisture year-round. Naples averages about 54 inches of rain per year, and most of it falls between June and September. Slow-moving summer thunderstorms can dump several inches in under an hour, overwhelming drainage systems — especially in low-lying neighborhoods near Naples Bay and Gordon River.

What is the best weather radar for Naples, Florida?

The Naples weather radar on this page pulls data from NEXRAD and RainViewer, the same sources used by the National Weather Service Miami office (WFO MFL) that covers Collier County. You get doppler radar imagery, precipitation maps, hourly forecasts, and 7-day outlooks — all on one page. The radar updates approximately every 10 to 20 minutes, so you can track storm cells moving across Southwest Florida in near real time.

How is this Naples weather radar different from WINK News radar?

WINK News provides weather coverage as part of their local TV broadcast for Southwest Florida. This page focuses specifically on radar and forecast data for Naples — no video segments, commercials, or news stories mixed in. The radar imagery here comes from NEXRAD and RainViewer and updates every 10 to 20 minutes. If you just want to check the radar quickly on your phone before heading out, this page loads fast and gets straight to the point.

Does Naples, FL get tornadoes?

Naples does get tornadoes, though they are less common than in central Florida or the Panhandle. Most tornadoes in the Naples area are spawned by tropical systems or strong thunderstorm lines during the wet season. These tend to be brief EF0 or EF1 tornadoes, but they can still cause significant damage. Hurricane Irma in 2017 spawned multiple tornadoes across Collier County as the storm made landfall.

What months have the worst weather in Naples, Florida?

August through October brings the highest risk in Naples. That window combines peak hurricane season with the wettest stretch of the year — afternoon thunderstorms fire up almost daily, and tropical systems can develop quickly in the warm Gulf waters. September is historically the most active month for hurricanes in Southwest Florida. The dry season from November through April is the mildest, with lower humidity and very little rain.
