With its warm weather Florida is an all round year destination. The busiest time is from October-April when American 'snow birds' come to enjoy the mild winters. Most will have left well before the summer arrives, when it can be extremely hot.

The spring 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.

Typical June through September 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. Nonetheless, those who aren't used to it may find 90°F and 70%-90% humidity a strain. Careful pacing, loose, light clothing and a hat with a brim will help. Be particularly careful where long waits in line occur: Some of the theme park attractions can have you standing in the sun longer than you might like.

October to December still offers 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.

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.
