Although Florida is a year round destination due to its warm weather the temperature can still fluctuate and knowledge of the annual variations in temperatures can help you decide when may be the best time for you to travel.

January is my favourite month to be in Florida. The resort tends to be quiet and the temperatures are the coolest of the year reaching a low of 10 oC and a high of 22 oC. Spring temperatures in Florida are mainly high 80’s, possibly low 50’s. Although the sun shines brightly spring showers are common so pack that rainmac before you head to the parks.

The summer months of June through till September are the rainiest months although temperatures can be in the 90’s. In addition in July and August British guests or small children who are not used to the heat may struggle a bit getting used to the very hot  and humid weather. The good news is all shops, houses and cars are air conditioned (a welcome relief) and most villas come with their own pools to chill out in and cool down. Thunderstorms are possible in the late afternoons but usually last no more than an hour.

October to December still offers fantastic weather (high 80’s to low 60’s). This is the ideal weather for those who don’t want the extreme heat of the summer months.

Tropical storms and hurricanes are known in Florida and it is worth knowing the hurricane  season officially runs from the 1st June to the 30th November. Forewarnings are given for your peace pf mind well in advance of any hurricane.
