Yes it might have been cold last year but surely it cant be nothing compared to over here in England, there in Florida its probably still hot during the day, over here all it does is rain all day long and you get stuck in Jackets. Yes it might get a bit cold at times but im sure it will be warm during the day time.

Yes I can back up what Julie says - it went below freezing for about 4-5 nights between January 8 - 22 2003. During the day the sun shone and was pleasantly warm, but the nights turned unexpectedly cold.
I too would recommend trousers, fleece/sweat and light weight jacket too. However, as Sarah has suggested, pack light and shop - there are so many bargains to be had its a shame not to make the most of the opportunity!
Last year it was real cold all the way down the East coast.....we had 6 foot of snow that lasted for weeks on end up here....
We've always had nice weather Christmas time..which is the only time we really go to FL......we had one cold night one year.....and one cold morning the next.....we always carry a fleece if we're going anywhere near water in winter....and if we're staying late or leaving early for the parks...it makes me laugh seeing the people who live there wearing fur coats in Disney in the evenings.....and we're still in t-shirts.....hehehehehhee
Hi
We went to Florida for Christmas 2 years ago and whilst we could sit by the pool and wear shorts and tee shirts during the day, at night time we certianly were grateful for the long trousers and jumpers we had packed.
The temps during the day were early 70's, but at night it was down to the late 40's early 50's - so not as cold as the UK but enough of a chill in the air to warrent a jumper.

I remember the news reports on the TV in January this year doing a special feature on frost and how to deal with it on your car! The were just waiting for a car crash to happen in those treachorous conditions!
I usually wear shorts all the time and maybe put a fleece on to keep warm later on. If we have been back to the villa I will maybe put trousers on before going out for our meal, but I am on holiday so prefer shorts. Comparing the weather to the Highlands, it is tropical!!
New Year's Eve 2001 was freezing. I had on my leather jacket(with sheepskin lining) gloves and scarf-must have looked a right sight-but it really was that cold.
Be prepared-just in case!

Just for the record I have had my house heating on since last Wednesday-not continually-but nevertheless I am not a very warm blooded individual!

It costs up to $270+ a month to keep warmish up here in the winter time....and thats having the heating off all night no matter how cold it is......and having it on only when need be in the day....in England I could heat my house all winter for that 24/7......quote:Originally posted by orlandobabe

Chrizzy, would it not be cheaper to have your heatin on low all the time? I have heard from other people in the UK that this can be so. My husband easily gets hot, so we have the heating on low during the day for me in the winter, but of at night.
I tried that.....but it doubles the price.......its hot air heating...so it comes on every few mins......to have it on low all day and night would cost about $400+ a month....I've tried all ways......quote:Originally posted by Karen

Try living in Alaska, we get 6 months of winter! in jan-feb the norm is -20F with an occasional -45F, course it can be balmy like last year, hardly got below -10 with an average daytime (if 5 hours of weak sunlight is a day)temp of 15 above, must be global warming!
