Jacksonville has a humid subtropical climate, with mild weather during winters and hot weather during summers. High temperatures average sixty-four to ninety-one degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. High heat indices are not uncommon for the summer months in the Jacksonville area. High temperatures can reach mid to high nineties with heat index ranges of one hundred five to one hundred fifteen degrees Fahrenheit. The highest temperature ever recorded in Jacksonville was one hundred five degrees Fahrenheit on July twenty-first, nineteen forty-two. It is common for daily thunderstorms to erupt during a standard summer afternoon. These are caused by the heating of the land and water, combined with extremely high humidity. During winter, the area can experience hard freezes during the night. Such cold weather is usually short lived. The coldest temperature recorded in Jacksonville was seven degrees Fahrenheit on January twenty-first, nineteen eighty-five, a day that still holds the record cold for many locations in the eastern half of the US. Even rarer in Jacksonville than freezing temperatures is snow. When snow does fall, it usually melts before touching the ground, or upon making contact with the ground. Most denizens of Jacksonville can remember accumulated snow on only one occasion—a thin ground cover that occurred a few days before Christmas of nineteen eighty-nine. As of two thousand, English spoken as a first language accounted for ninety-one percent, while Spanish was at four percent, and Tagalog spoken as a mother tongue made up of one percent of the population. In total, all languages spoken other than English were at nine percent. Jacksonville is home to a number of annual cultural events. The Jacksonville Jazz Festival is held every April and is the second-largest jazz festival in the nation. Other popular music festivals include The Spring Music Fest, a free concert sponsored by the city that features some of today's most popular artists, Planetfest, featuring a variety of modern rock artists, and Springing the Blues, a free outdoor blues festival held in Jacksonville Beach. The Jacksonville Film Festival is held every May and features a variety of independent films, documentaries, and shorts screening at seven historic venues in the city. Past attendees of the festival have included director John Landis and Academy Award nominee Bill Murray and winner Graham Greene, both of whom were awarded the Tortuga Verde Lifetime Achievement Award. The Art Walk, a monthly outdoor art festival, is sponsored by Downtown Vision, Inc, an organization which works to promote artistic talent and venues on the First Coast.
