That seems strange to me.
The second sentence of the wikipedia article on the matter is, "There are two basic seasons in the Tampa Bay area, a hot and wet season from May through October, and a mild and dry season from November through April." [0]
The University of South Florida, on its page advising incoming students and faculty about how to prepare for the climate, says, "Tampa, Florida has a humid, subtropical climate with two distinct seasons: a hot and humid season from May through October and a milder, dry season from November through April."
...and really: it's plain to see for anybody who lives here. I've only lived here 3 years, but everyone I know regards the local climate as 2-season, and has home and/or lifestyle preparations for each.

- lanza 4y agoFrom looking at a few different climate charts, Tampa seems drier, but still 1.8 inches. Where I live (Orlando) it averages 2.6 inches this month and weather forecasts have it raining twice over the next week and there was a thunderstorm earlier today. I guess from having lived some time in north and south California I assume "dry" means "actually dry" as in "it's not going to rain at all this month".
