Weather & Climate
An Atmosphere to Live your Best Life
Want a piece of the Sunshine State that’s less congested and only a couple hours from Gulf and Atlantic Coast cities and beaches? The Florida Heartland is home to mid-seventies temperatures in the winter and cities with some of the lowest rainfall levels in the state. Being at the center of Florida also insulates residents from the coastal weather, making any day a good day to go kayaking fishing along Lake Okeechobee or the Caloosahatchee River.

Get Out and Enjoy Nature
South Central Florida’s year-round warm temperatures and abundant sunshine make it an ideal place to spend the day kayaking or hiking through the ancient hammocks of Highlands Hammock State Park, the thousands-plus acres of Hardee Lakes Park and the pre-Columbian landscapes of Okaloacoochee Slough State Forest.
An Abundance of Warm Weather
With its subtropical climate, the Florida Heartland offers temperatures in the 90s during the summer — making it the perfect place to enjoy the many lakes and waterways. But don’t let the fun end when fall hits, because South Central Florida’s winters are mild, with temperatures averaging in the mid-seventies during the day and the 50s at night. And while the region does experience rain throughout the year, cities like Arcadia have some of the lowest precipitation in Florida.
