With its warm weather Florida is an all round year destination, but the difference in the weather between north and south means it has two distinct tourist seasons. In southern Florida (including Orlando) the busiest time is from October-April when Americans come to enjoy the mild winters. Most will have left well before the summer arrives, when it can be extremely hot.
Spring : - (March – May)
The temperatures in Florida are in the upper 80’s, and lows
possible in the 50’s. There is plenty of sunshine, but spring
showers are common. You should be comfortable in swimwear,
shorts and light clothing for the day and sweaters for the cooler evenings.
Summer : - (June – September)
Typical Florida daily temperatures can be in the 90’s. Thunderstorms
are possible in the late afternoon, but usually last no more than an hour
and can be refreshing. Why not return to the villa during the afternoon,
or visit the malls, returning to the theme parks or attractions in the evening
to view the shows. Remember to cover up with a high factor
sun cream and drink plenty of water.
Autumn : - (October – December)
Still plenty of Florida sunshine with highs in the 80’s and lows in
the 60’s. This is ideal weather for those who don’t want
the extreme heat of the summer.
Winter : - (December – February)
The Florida winter temperatures are cooler, but can still be in the 70’s
during the day with low temperatures in the evening around the mid 50’s.
You will still need swimwear and light clothing, but take sleeved
clothing or jackets for the cooler evenings. The native Floridians
will be noticeable for their ‘warm winter clothing’ but it’s
more like spring weather for those of us used to the UK weather.
