Central Florida Seasons & Weather

First let's look at temperatures and their variations. Many do not realize the benefits that living in the Central Florida region offers. Within both the North Florida and South Florida region you get extremes compared to the more temperate distinct seasons and climate you find here.

Low temperatures Of Winter Months

Low temperatures begin in early November here in the Sunshine State. The average lows are the most noticeable in December, January and February where low seventies during the day and low fifties for nighttime lows are the norm. This time of the year makes winter months up north look like a really good reason to move to Central Florida. We have our windows open and our power bill is extremely low and these are the driest months.

March & April & May Bring Spring Break And More

Still far from hot the month of March brings flickers of hope that April will deliver on. Spring break comes and the humidity climbs as cooler temperatures fade from memory. While other states may still be digging out in Tampa the forecast is for spring break and the beaches. Rain will begin to occur more often but the grass will need it and it will occur mostly as afternoon storms.

June, July & August The Wettest Month & Hurricane Season

Come June Summer is in full swing, the beaches are crowded and so are the nearby theme parks in Orlando. The temperature now (historically) will be averaging in the low 90's during the day and the mid 70's for nighttime lows. Absolutely perfect. South Florida is a sweltering mess and way to hot and humid to enjoy. Northern Florida is still very acceptable.

Rainfall will definitely be increasing and the wettest months are upon us. Hurricane season is in full swing and runs through the end of October. Hurricanes are typically not as much of a threat to Central Florida unless you are on the Atlantic coast (east coast). After all it is called the Atlantic Hurricane Season. In my opinion September is when most hurricanes seem to have been a threat to us. The rest of the year this part of the country has tropical storms. The Summer months just bring higher average high temperatures and in the afternoon the average rainfall provides a break from the heat.

September & October Are the End Of Summer Months & Hurricane Season

Finally the Atlantic Hurricane Season ends and temperatures become awesome again. Expect those high temperatures to begin to wane in earnest as the deciduous trees need the break. Winter is approaching and the weather will become a lot more Disney friendly. It will seem short lived but be of good cheer. In Central Florida great weather Springs eternal.
