January weather forecast
Florida, USA

January stands as one of the cooler months in Florida's calendar. Geographically speaking, the state experiences a disparity in temperature based on its latitude. In the northern regions, cities such as Tallahassee and Jacksonville generally witness temperatures from 40°F (4.4°C) to 45°F (7.2°C). Contrarily, cities further south like Miami and Key West experience milder conditions, with temperatures fluctuating between 60°F (15.6°C) to 65°F (18.3°C).

The month of January is notably colder than its preceding month, December, and is usually a precursor to the slightly warmer February. However, the ocean's influence, especially the Gulf Stream, helps mitigate extreme cold, ensuring that Florida does not endure the frigid temperatures seen in many northern American states during this time.

While snowfall is a rare event in Florida, January occasionally witnesses it, especially in the northern parts. However, this snowfall is minimal and rarely accumulates to significant levels. South Florida, on the other hand, remains predominantly snow-free. Frost is more prevalent, especially in the interior regions away from the coast. Compared to the wet and stormy summer months, January is drier, but fog remains a common phenomenon across the state, often reducing visibility in the mornings.
