What month does it cool down in Florida, Palm Beach County?

According to the National Weather Service’s September 2023 report, Florida is usually a day or two cooler in the fall, but in winter, in November, Florida typically feels noticeably and consistently cooler.

While other states enjoy the temperate weather, crisp air and changing fall leaves, Florida residents must wait until the winter months to truly feel relief from the heat.

“The initial burst of cooler, drier air is usually short-lived, lasting only a day or two. The real cooling usually doesn’t occur until November,” the NWS website says.

According to the Farmers’ Almanac’s extended 60-day weather forecast for Florida, Florida residents can still expect temperatures around 80 degrees Fahrenheit in September, as usual.

The average temperature expected in Florida this September is around 80 degrees Fahrenheit (one degree below average) and about 9 inches of rain is expected throughout the month (about two inches more than average).
