Cold January For Florida

As with the majority of the United States, 2025 has started cold across Florida, with temperatures consistently holding well-below seasonal norms.

Morning lows have been dipping into the 30s and 40s in Central parts, while afternoons are struggling to warm past the 50s and 60s — a stark departure from the usual January highs of around 72F (22C).

With an average daily high of just 55F (12.87C), Orlando is experiencing its seventh coldest January on record.

The cold is being felt across the region, with cities such as Leesburg, Sanford, Melbourne, and Daytona Beach all reporting some of their coldest Januarys on record. Leesburg and Daytona Beach are enduring their fourth coldest, while Sanford is experiencing its seventh, and Melbourne its eighth.

Big Freeze Kills Thousands Of Mullet

Last week's cold blast impacted much of the Gulf Coast, including Baldwin County, Alabama where thermometers plummeted to a rare 16F (-8.9F), partially icing over Little Lagoon and in the process killing thousands of mullet.
