View Full Version : US High Temperature Record
We were lucky enough to be in Florida during December 2006 and January 2007 when the weather was really great and warm - on the day we left it was 84F. [msncry]
However, the point of posting this was the fact that the US experienced record high temperatures during December 2006 (lucky us!) all over the place. This is supposedly due to El Nino from the Pacific so, as well as Florida, all sorts of other places found themselves with unseasonably warm weather and led to December being declared as the warmest December since records began in the US.

We were out ourselves at Christmas, and for the first time in three years we actually came back with a glowing suntan. Its still great to be in Florida in the winter than dreary cold and wet UK, there is still as always perfect at this time of year, but it was even more perfect this year.
We, too, spent Christmas in our villa, and the weather was, indeed, beautifully warm. Its such a lovely time to visit as there is minimal humidity, yet it is warm enough to walk around in short sleeves. I particularly love shopping in the evening and walking out of the Mall at Millenia and feeling the warmth engulfing me. Magic...
I am in Florida now and sunbathing the weather today is great blue skies and lots of sunshine.
We spent the New Year in Florida, I had packed all sorts of jumpers, jackets and jeans...We didn't need them. Even the temprature at night didn't drop.
Here is my son and niece on New Years eve in our pool in wonderful tempratures of 82F

So am I. However it is not warm(several degrees below normal) and its been pretty miserable the last couple of days.
I got here 21 Jan and Jan 22nd was a record(85F) but since then the weather has been quite poor with only a couple of really nice days.
Hasn't stopped the fish biting though.

Pretty cold in Manchester, I'd take anything over freezing at the minute.

Believe me, you're better weather wise in Florida. We had snow on our first morning back (24 Jan) and a very thick frost this morning which took ages to get off the car windows. [msneek]
Just heard on the radio that here in UK we are on a severe weather warning for tonight, with possible record snowfall[msnscared]Roll on next week, and bring some glorious Florida sunshine[msncool]

It's almost time for Ms DeVilla's suitcase to come out again and I know where I want to be on this freezing Yorksire night as I sit in pokey, noisey hotel room dreaming of the Florida sunshine and a cocktail or 10 by the pool.

I know a lot more of you will have a good couple of more inches, and for many of you that are travelling today I do hope you are not too much delayed, your lucky things.[msnmad]

We were out at Xmas 2006 and enjoyed the Warm Weather also. Shame about the UK weather but it is nice to see snow.
Heading for Florida Xmas 2007 also so hopefully lovely warm weather again.

We've just had our first cold weather in MA....it was -1....its now a nice 26...I thought I would find it cold back here after 6 weeks in FL...but the cooler weather there the last few weeks made it less of a shock...England must be getting all our snow...my kids said they only had a few inches while we were away..

It has been lovely here again today, temperatures in the 70s, spent the day gardening and having a dip or two in the pool. [msnsmile2]
