...Fall 2025 Weather Summary for East Central Florida...

Temperatures through the start of the Fall ended up being more
seasonable, with average temperatures for September being within a
half degree of normal for most sites. As cold frontal passages
picked up into the remainder of the Fall, average temperatures
trended near to cooler than normal for October into November. This
led to average temperatures for the season that also ended up
either close to normal or just below normal.

Periods of onshore flow and lingering frontal boundaries led to
wetter that normal conditions, mainly along the coast into
September. This pattern was magnified into October, with a moist
onshore flow combining with stalled fronts at times to produce
above normal to well above normal rainfall across much of east
central Florida for the month. The precipitation pattern then
reversed, with limited rainfall and much drier than normal
conditions during November. Despite the drier end to the season,
rainfall totals for the Fall were generally near to above normal,
especially due to the wetter conditions during October.


Temperatures...

Temperatures trended close to normal for much of September due to
a more prevalent onshore flow during the month and a more
dominant trough pattern aloft. Average temperatures all ended up
within a half degree of normal at most sites. Passing fronts and
increased cloud cover from a wetter pattern into mid-season then
led to overall average temperatures that were near to slightly
below normal for October, ranging from 0.1 degrees above normal at
Fort Pierce and 1.3 degrees below normal at Leesburg.

Cold fronts that moved through in November produced brief periods
of cooler weather at the beginning and toward the end of the
month. However, during the 10th through the 13th, temperatures
were well below normal from a stronger cold front that pushed
across the area. Temperatures during this period fell as low as
the mid 30s to low 40s on the morning of the 11th, and highs that
day only reached into the mid 50s to low 60s. All primary climate
sites either tied or broke their record lows and cool maximum
temperatures on this day, with average temperatures around 20
degrees below normal. This colder spell, combined with cooler
periods at the start and end of November, led to monthly average
temperatures that were around 1 to 2 degrees below normal for most
locations.

With average temperatures for each month either near or below
normal, this was reflected in the overall average temperatures for
the Fall. The average temperature of 74.9 degrees at Orlando was
normal for the season. All other primary climate sites had
seasonal average temperature values that were around a half a
degree to a degree below normal.


Average temperature values for Fall 2025 at the primary climate
sites across east central Florida are as follows (rankings provided
if in the top 10):

- Daytona Beach had an average temperature for the season of 73.3
degrees Fahrenheit, which was 0.6 degrees below normal.

- Leesburg had an average temperature for the season of 73.6 degrees
Fahrenheit, which was 1.0 degree below normal.

- Sanford had an average temperature for the season of 74.3 degrees
Fahrenheit, which was 0.7 degrees below normal.

- Orlando had an average temperature for the season of 74.9 degrees
Fahrenheit, which was normal.

- Melbourne had an average temperature for the season of 74.7
degrees Fahrenheit, which was 0.6 degrees below normal.

- Vero Beach had an average temperature for the season of 74.9
degrees Fahrenheit, which was 1.1 degrees below normal.

- Fort Pierce had an average temperature for the season of 74.9
degrees Fahrenheit, which was 0.6 degrees below normal.


Rainfall...

The season started off on the wetter side, as a couple fronts
moved into the area and stalled during the first half of
September, leading to an increase in showers and storms. The
second half of the month trended drier, but some periods of
heavier rainfall did occur across southern portions of east
central Florida. Rainfall amounts for September were rather
variable. However, precipitation was generally near to above
normal along the coast, where totals were around 8-12 inches with
locally higher amounts of 13-14 inches. Farther inland, rainfall
totals trended lower, around 3-7 inches for the month, with even
less rainfall occurring for portions of Lake County. This division
in precipitation was most evident between Leesburg and Daytona
Beach. Leesburg only had 1.49 inches of rainfall, ranking as the
3rd driest September on record for this site. However, Daytona
Beach received 12.43 inches of precipitation, which ranked as the
10th wettest September on record at this location.

Rainfall increased into October as stalled frontal boundaries and
moist onshore flow led to a few periods of heavy to, at times,
excessive rainfall across the region. The most significant of
these was on October 26th, when localized extreme rainfall amounts
of 10-15 inches occurred across portions of northern Brevard
County and up to 14-19 inches fell across the Eustis and Mount
Dora areas of northern Lake County. This led to considerable flash
flooding impacts in these locations. Precipitation totals for
October were above to well above normal, with widespread totals of
4-9 inches across east central Florida and around 10-15 inches
for portions of the coast. However, localized totals up to 15-21
inches were observed across those areas mentioned previously that
had received the extreme rainfall on the 26th. Titusville had
their wettest October on record, with 21.08 inches of rain for the
month. Additionally, for Leesburg it was the 2nd wettest October
on record and 5th wettest on record at Melbourne, with totals of
8.47 inches and 11.50 inches respectively at these sites.

As wet as October had been across the region, November was the
exact opposite. Rainfall was very limited across the area, with
any showers and isolated storms mostly associated with a few
passing fronts. Totals were mostly a half an inch or less for the
month, and for some locations like Orlando and Vero Beach, they
were below a tenth of an inch. Vero Beach actually had their
driest November on record with only 0.03 inches of precipitation
during the entire month! It was the 3rd driest November on record
at Orlando, 4th driest at Fort Pierce and 7th driest on record at
Leesburg and Melbourne.

While the season ended on a drier note, the rainfall in September
and especially October was enough to produce overall
precipitation totals for the season that were near to above normal
for much of the region. Rainfall totals were generally 10-15
inches across the interior and highest along the coast ranging
from 15-25 inches. However, locally higher totals occurred across
northern Brevard County, with 31.42 inches occurring during the
season at Titusville. It is worthwhile to note around 40 percent
of this total came from the extreme rainfall event on October
26th, when 13.10 inches fell at this location. This ranked as the
wettest Fall on record for this site, breaking the previous record
of 30.63 inches set in the Fall of 1924.
