Living in Florida means that you don’t normally look at winters the way many other people throughout the country do. The chances of you having a multiple shovels and ice scrapers are few, and you probably don’t brace for blizzards the way they do up north. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you can ignore winter altogether, especially because lingering tropical storms could pop up, wet weather can become a problem, and surprise drops in temperature can leave you shrugging your shoulders. Thanks to the latest 2019 predictions from the Farmer’s Almanac, we have an idea of what to expect from this winter in Florida.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac has just released the 2019 winter weather predictions throughout the United States, and Floridians can rejoice.

According to the Almanac, Florida can expect to see a much warmer and drier winter compared to last year’s.

In fact, much of the country will have a warmer winter, with the exception of the Southwest, which will see more cold, snowy temperatures compared to the average.

For those who follow the Almanac, the predictions are formed from complex mathematical and astronomical formulas that take into account certain things such as sunspot activity, planetary position, the moon, and tidal action to name a few.

The formula has been top secret since 1792, and continues to be a driving force for many farmers who wish to have an idea of what to expect in the coming months.

Floridians usually expect mild winters when compared to the rest of the country, yet oftentimes rather than snow, Florida can get quite wet.

However, thanks to the 2019 predictions, Floridians can rejoice in a warmer, drier winter than what occurred last year in the 2017-2018 season.
