Florida’s temperatures generally average from the mid-50s to mid-80s Fahrenheit or 12-30 degrees Celsius. Temperatures in the northern part of the state occasionally drop to freezing in winter (December-February), while South Florida’s subtropical areas rarely see a dip in temperature. Summers (June-September) are very warm and humid, though frequent, brief rain showers provide a refreshing break.
The “rainy season” lasts from May through October. Hurricanes occasionally make landfall in Florida during this period; communities within the state have effective emergency plans to assist residents and visitors alike. Though some rainfall does occur at other times of year, autumn, winter and spring are usually sunny, dry and temperate.
Florida is an all-year-round destination for all visitor types. Families and multi-generational families from the UK would typically travel during school holidays such as Easter, Summer and the October half-term. Other visitor types such as DINKs (dual-income no kids), couples and solo travellers would typically travel in the same year they book and quite often during non-peak terms.
