Florida's average annual maximum temperature is 22°C (72°F). To put that in context, here's how it compares to a few well-known destinations:

Rome, Italy averages 20°C (68°F) annually, with reliably warm summers and comfortable winters.

Toronto, Canada averages 13°C (55°F) annually, with cold snowy winters balanced by genuinely warm summers.

New York City, USA averages 17°C (63°F) a year, with hot humid summers and cold winters that bring regular snowfall.

Brisbane, Australia averages 26°C (79°F) a year, with warm winters and hot, humid summers.

Temperature alone doesn't tell the whole story, humidity plays a big role in how warm or cold it actually feels. High humidity in summer makes the heat feel more intense, particularly once temperatures climb above 25°C. In winter, the same humidity can make cold air feel sharper than the thermometer suggests.

In Florida, July is the coolest month, with average highs of 15°C (59°F) and humidity around 79%, considered high. In January, the warmest month, temperatures average 29°C (84°F) with 64% humidity, conditions that feel high. For a full picture, see our humidity page.

Climate temperature data is typically calculated as a 30-year average. This smooths out year-to-year variability and gives a more reliable picture of what a place is actually like, rather than what happened in any single unusual year.

The readings come from a range of sources, land-based weather stations, ocean buoys, ships, and satellites. That data is collected by weather services around the world, then pooled, quality-checked, and averaged to produce the climate records you see here.

Global average temperatures have risen by around 1.2°C since the pre-industrial era, and the effects are visible across many regions. Winters are milder on average, with fewer frost days and less snow in many parts of the world. Heatwaves are more frequent and more intense, and Europe's summers of 2018, 2019, and 2020 all set records.

Summers are also getting drier in some areas, while winter rainfall has increased in others. This contributies to higher river levels and more flooding. In many countries, spring arrives earlier and autumn lasts longer. It has knock-on effects for wildlife, agriculture, and local ecosystems.
