Uhmm, Hmm i’m not too familiar with the Sarasota area. I’d suggest getting ready for hurricanes a semi cold winter which will blast at your unexpectedly but don’t buy a lot of winter clothes waste of money it never lasts. Our weather ranges from Hot, WAY HOT, AND TOO FUCKING HOT. Prepare for humidity if you like your hair get some humidity resistant spray.  Never go to clear water beach ever wayyy too crowded, stick to HoneyMoon Island but you pay a few dollars to enter but it’s pretty!
