Pressure and weather in Bonita Springs
Bonita Springs lies barely above sea level on the southwest Florida coast, where the Imperial River reaches Estero Bay through a fringe of mangrove islands. The city has two entirely different weather regimes. From June to October the peninsula generates its own storms: the Gulf sea breeze pushes inland from the west while the Atlantic breeze pushes in from the east, and where the two collide, usually just inland of Bonita Springs in the early afternoon, towering thunderstorms fire almost daily. That same stretch is hurricane season, and a tropical system approaching from the Gulf produces the deepest and fastest barometric drop available anywhere in the country. The dry season from November to April is the calm counterpart, when the sea breeze shuts down and the only real pressure changes come from cold fronts pushing down the peninsula, most of which stall and weaken before reaching Lee County. September and October carry the most risk and the most movement.
What this means for you
Tropical systems produce pressure falls far larger than anything a mid-latitude front can manage, so if you are sensitive at all you will likely feel these. Watching the current barometric pressure during an approach is also a useful reality check on how much of a change your body actually registers.
