Wait for Florida’s first frost of the season now that cold fronts are affecting the south and some fall-like temperatures have arrived.
A freeze is characterized by a low temperature of 32 degrees or lower. A severe freeze officially occurs when the temperature falls to 28 degrees or lower. With air temperatures a few degrees above freezing, snow can form.
For our purposes, we’ll merely focus on the typical initial day with a low temperature of 32 degrees or lower following the end of the summer. The average spans the 30 years from 1991 to 2020.
The northwestern regions of Florida experience the fastest freezes, as one might anticipate. With a November fall to 32° or below, Crestview is the latest average initial freeze of these cities.
