Florida Weather in February

What’s the weather like in Florida in February?

Known as the ‘Sunshine State’, Florida is in the southeastern United States, close to the Tropic of Cancer. This means it has a wonderful climate with warm weather all year round. You'll have cooler temperatures in February than over the summer, although it’s one of the driest months of the year, which mean's it's a great time to plan your Florida holidays. It's also located on a peninsula that’s the meeting point of the North Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and the climate is more tropical in the south than the north. As there’s so much water, this usually keeps the weather relatively stable.
