When considering a move to the West Central Florida area, many people ask about the weather they can expect. Some worry that they will miss the seasonal aspect of life, imagining Florida to be hot and humid 12 months out of the year. It is sometimes hard for those who have experienced Florida only for a short vacation- a stay at the beach or a few days at Disney, to imagine what it might be like to live here. This article will attempt to provide a seasonal view of Florida in the space of one year.

January- February:

You’ve arrived in Florida just in time to relax from the busy holiday season. This is the coldest time of year in Florida, but you’ll be relieved to find that the average temperature in about 60 degrees for these couple of months. Evenings get cooler, but very rarely uncomfortable. You may still need your cold weather jacket or coat, but remember to dress in layers. Florida can start out a day very cool, but will usually warm up by the early afternoon. You may need a coat for your early morning walk through Ocala, but you can be eating lunch on the patio.

March-May:

Beginning in March, you’ll notice a warming trend. The mornings and evenings are still cool and comfortable. As you head into May, you’ll definitely feel the need for short sleeves and lighter materials. This time of year is a beautiful one, as people use the sunshine and mild temperatures to plant flowers and gardens. Average temperatures during these months will move from about 65 to 75 degrees by May. Florida’s strawberry festivals are also held during these months, and blueberry picking is happening all over the area farms. Spend some time checking out one of the local “U-Pick” farms for a great deal and even better taste.

June -August:

The hottest time of year has arrived. Many Floridians adjust to the heat by moving up the time of their morning exercise. Early morning walks are a great way to meet your neighbors and get to know fellow Ocala homeowners. These months are quite warm, but are also known for their afternoon showers that occur almost daily and can lower the temperature by almost 10 degrees rather quickly. Summer is also a great time to make use of the beautiful pools that are a part of many Florida homes. The pool area becomes a center of activity during this time of year, as many people swim to cool off, and then enjoy lunch or dinner on the pool deck. For this reason, many people design or purchase homes with a built-in grill on the patio or porch area.

September-December:

The end of the year is rapidly approaching and it’s time for the weather to begin to cool. Though it may be October before it really happens, there is one day in Florida where you step out of your door into crisp morning air for the first time in the season. These days, at first, are rare, but they quickly become the norm and you can begin to enjoy what is for many, Florida’s most enjoyable season-fall. Students return to school, Halloween night is enjoyed and before you know it, it’s time to prepare for the holiday season. The Ocala area is a great place to enjoy the many seasons of Florida.
