Seems just about every one else in the lower 48 outside of the gulf coast, FL and coastal GA has by early October and that includes even Phoenix. Next cold front due in a week probably takes everyone else outside of extreme southern FL off the board. Expect low 50's at night in northern FL, low 60's along the I-4 corridor down to north of Lake Okechobee but if you are in Dade,Broward and Palm Beach you are out of luck with very little change. Even Naples is expected to drop to about 67. Ocala registered 56 degrees I believe one night last week but the hot weather came back for one more curtain call with just a bit less humidity this time. Are your excited TanNaples?

Whenwe heard of a cold front coming through Vero,we laughed being from OH, we can tell you about a cold front When its 20 below 0 and you have to chip off a block of ice from your car window
Here its 60's at night and 80's in the day. But, we will take it. Don't have to shovel it, scrape it and our cars look clean(no ash/salt)
so let the cold front begin

You are out of luck. Weather.com just revised their 10 day forecast including the next cold front. It will now barely be felt even in places like Vero and Sarasota. Slim chance you'll see anything different down in Miami till late in the month at best<ng>

I hope this thread can educate folks thinking of moving to our state on how we do have regional disparites especially once the hot humid summers we are known for begin to fade. I've lived as far south as Kendall and as far north as Daytona and seems to be quite a difference from my own experience

When I first moved to Florida, during my first week in Orlando the radio DJ said that the area was experiencing a cold front and it was going to get down into the upper 80s. I thought he was kidding as in "Oh, those wild and wacky DJs. They are such kidders!"

Took me a little bit before I realized that he was dead serious.

which, hello, occur in the middle of the NIGHT. I am usually sleeping, unless I set my alarm clock to get up at 3 AM to go sit on my lanai to "enjoy" the HIGH 60s. What are the HIGHS for those days? I bet it will "cool down" to the high 80s by the middle of the day. That is exactly what happened last week with the last "cold" front.

Talk to me in FEBRUARY, if I am still here, about lows in the 40s, and maybe then I will get up in the middle of the night to enjoy the cool weather.

I have lived in central Florida for a pretty long time and the AC runs year-round. At most it is off for a few days at a time, a few times a year.

[TriMT7]

I pretty much go air conditioning free for about half of December, through to about early March or so. Intermittent cold fronts might make some additional days before or after air conditioning free.

I'm a person though that keeps the air at about 77-78 in the day during the summer, and 74-75 at night.

In the winter, though, the humidity is gone and even warm temps feel much much nicer.


When I lived in Tallahassee the air conditioning was off a LOT more than now, but the HEAT was also on a lot more, lol!

[kshe95girl]

We had our AC off for a total of 3 days here in Ocala during the last cold front, it got down to 50 one night, it was great!
