ORLANDO, Fla. – The chill has started early in Florida. First for Halloween, and now in early November.
So does this mean the winter of 2025-26 will be a cold one in Central Florida?
Not so fast.
If you’re a fan of the cool weather, the first half of winter will likely be your best bet to feel some.

From an average temperature perspective, December will likely be pretty close to average with a couple of bouts of cold air counteracted by the return of unseasonably warm air.
By the time the middle of January rolls around, the warmth looks to takeover and not let go.
The above-normal temperatures likely surge into February.
When you average the temperatures of December, January and February, the winter of 2025-26 will likely come out to be above average, even with a few December cold snaps.
By the time we get to spring, parts of Central Florida will likely be on drought watch as below normal rainfall is also anticipated.
La Niña will be the main driver of the weather pattern across the Southeast U.S.
That pattern typically brings warmer and drier weather to the region, but it doesn’t always work out like this.
The La Niña for the upcoming winter will be a weak one and therefore could be “bullied” by other large-scale weather phenomenon.
