I was working with weather coming in from the west moving east. Military airspace was active up to FL500. There were aircraft coming from the west deviating towards the active military airspace. The traffic load was heavy and made traffic complexity high because there was more than normal traffic coming from the west at even altitudes that were tied up with southbound traffic at even altitudes trying to go through the same 15 mile hole in between the weather and active military airspace. When weather is pushing toward the active military airspace we need to slow traffic down for deviations and have a plan to go-around the airspace and weather.
ZJX Center Controller reported a complex traffic workload due to weather deviations and insufficient traffic flow management through their airspace.
