Right now, temperatures in The Villages and Edwardsville are somewhat similar.

Is this typical weather here? Or an anomaly?
Hi, it is colder in North Central Florida. We are from SE Florida for over 56 years. Only 2 years here. We average 10 to even 15 degrees colder than South Florida. I check the difference daily.
In the summer, our heat index is about 7 degrees lower. Humidity always a bit lower here.

So Winters worse, summers better. However, the lightning here is serious. Consider installing a lightning rod.

P.s. no iguanas or pythons here unlike S. Fl.
