Southern Florida experiences the warmest temperatures in the winter compared to other U.S. regions.

Thanks to its tropical and subtropical climate, Southern Florida, including cities like Miami, Key West, and Fort Lauderdale, enjoys mild to warm winters. Temperatures rarely drop below 60°F (15°C) during the winter months, making it a popular winter destination for tourists seeking sunshine and warmth. The region’s proximity to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean helps moderate temperatures, preventing the cold winter weather seen in other parts of the U.S., such as the Midwest, Northern Rockies, or New England.
