What are the average temperatures in Florida By Month and Region?

The average temperature in Florida varies significantly depending on the region and the time of year. However, a general estimate of the annual average temperatures in Florida by month across the state is around 70-75°F (21-24°C).

These numbers have little significance due to the vast difference from north to south Florida. For instance, the average temperature in Pensacola, Florida in January is 67 degrees for the high and 48 degrees for the low. January in Key West, Florida, is 75 degrees for the high and 65 degrees for the low.

That average low-temperature difference is a whopping 17 degrees!

For more accurate temperature averages in Florida, you must look at regions to get an idea of potential temperatures in regions and destinations.
