How Hot Does It Really Get in Central Florida During the Summer?

Let’s be honest — Central Florida summers are hot. But they’re also manageable when you know what to expect.

Typical Temps

From June to September, average daily highs range from 90–95°F, with humidity levels that can push the heat index over 100°F. Afternoon thunderstorms are common and offer relief.

What Locals Do to Stay Cool

• Get outside in the early morning or after 7pm

• Use community pools, splash pads, and shaded trails

• Plan indoor attractions like museums or theaters during peak heat

• Take advantage of beach day trips to Cocoa, New Smyrna, or the Gulf

How Homes Are Built to Handle It

Most Florida homes are built with:

• High-efficiency HVAC systems

• Tinted or impact-rated windows

• Covered lanais and screened-in porches

Thinking of relocating? I help buyers factor in insulation, cooling costs, and comfort features — all year round.
