St. Petersburg, Florida, the "Sunshine City," is a coastal city known for its many sunny days. As the holder of the Guinness World Record for the greatest number of sunny days in a row, St. Petersburg's nickname is well-deserved. However, its subtropical climate and sandy soil conditions can pose unique challenges for concrete surfaces.
Summer temperatures in St. Petersburg typically range from the mid-70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit. This high heat can cause concrete to expand and contract, leading to cracking or spalling. Summer is also accompanied by rainfall, causing soil to be unstable. Additionally, the combination of heat and moisture can accelerate the deterioration of concrete, especially when exposed to salt or other corrosive elements.
