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. Fall 2025 rainfall totals for the primary climate sites across east central Florida are as follows (ranking provided if in the top 10): - Daytona Beach received 21.99 inches of rain for the season, which was 7.23 inches above normal. - Leesburg received 10.14 inches of rain for the season, which was 0.55 inches above normal. - Sanford received 12.33 inches of rain for the season, which was 0.31 inches above normal. - Orlando received 11.02 inches of rain for the season, which was 0.60 inches below normal. - Melbourne received 20.26 inches of rain for the season, which was 5.22 inches above normal. - Vero Beach received 19.03 inches of rain for the season, which was 3.75 inches above normal. - Fort Pierce received 17.54 inches of rain for the season, which was 3.01 inches above normal.
