What I get is, yes it can be a few degrees cooler some days compared to further south, or it can be the same. Mornings can cold ( 40's) in January/February or it could be in the 60's. Highs could be only in the 50's or the 80's. That sum it up? :)
I don't think so. Unless you move to a community near the villages. Weather is only part of the total joy of ownership.

As per my previous post, I can't attest to the weather this time of year, but I can tell you that I have found TV to be a great community. We have, in a very short period of time, made friends with neighbors that feel like we have known for years. Since we are still up north for now, they will even check in on us up here on occasion to ask when we will be down again. You really have to experience it for yourself. The weather will probably become a secondary factor once you do - so many things to do, many almost at your doorstep and wonderful, friendly people. Enjoy your visit and don't be afraid to ask questions when you get there. You will find that most Villagers love to talk about their community.

Obviously I should call one of those neighbors now to ask them about my packing/clothing question.........:oops:

Good luck in your search and welcome to TOTV!

But it did drop to 44 overnight. Chilly Nucky, but the sun feels so good.

2. When you actually live here for more than 5-6 months a year, you look forward to the cooler months, especially if you're golfers. And then it's not that cool and it doesn't last long.

3. There are distinct reasons why Florida is the #1 state from which people move to The Villages.

Two days ago in the Lake Sumter Landing Sales Office, on the "Welcome New Villagers" Board listing the closings on new/used home purchases between 12/28 and 12/31, there were 60 couples/persons listed with their states. Twenty-eight (28) of them were from Florida.

Look at the board in the coming weeks, and daily there will be 30-40 closings listed.

Getting a place in TV is a complete no-brainer.
This is a really good point.
We lived in Tampa for 17 years and enjoyed it.
But being retired there wasn't a lot to do.
Too many people and too much traffic and expensive.

I did NOT want to move south because I still don't like the
heat.

We are very happy with decision!

Come rent and off-season and in high season and see for yourself the weather changes from year-to-year last January on certain days it was cold. This January who knows

Cooler here, but it's ok
 
My wife and I had concerns about it being too cold for us when we moved here after 25 years in St. Pete and Sarasota. We've survived here 4 years without it being a problem.

It is currently 55 degrees here, 66 degrees in Bonita Springs. Tomorrow morning it will be 35 degrees here, 50 degrees in Bonita Springs. So that's a big difference, but I would still rather be here.

One other advantage, and this is a bit hard to believe unless you've experienced both, it that it rains about 8 inches less per year here than in Bonita or Sarasota or St. Pete.

Weather channel has it down to 37 by 6 AM tomorrow, but up to 63 by 2 PM. No need to put up blizzard warnings yet

We will be coming down in a couple of weeks for the first time for a winter visit and I'm struggling with what to pack. My better half thinks Florida and just wants to pack shorts, but I'm thinking some warmer clothes may be in order as well. Any suggestions?
January is typically our coldest month..it may be 80, but it may be 40. We wear our "summer boots" (flip flops) most of the year, but maybe with jeans! Some shorts are a good idea, but definitely plan for cooler temps, for the most part.

In Hawai'i we call 'em "slippahs" :D

tuccillo 01-12-2016 09:03 AM
That is actually only 8 degrees below the average low and well above the record low (16).

Very true!! You have to accept the winter morning lows up here.

We lived in SE Florida for 18 years and got very bored with the weather there. Winters anywhere in Central Florida and South are wonderful compared to the north but the summers are brutally hot.

Gerald 01-12-2016 10:33 AM
I believe that question could be answered better.
Winter mild compared to Alaska. Summer mild as compared to las Vegas.
It all depends on what you are used to. What is effecting the weather at any given time and season. The weather changes everywhere you go. So going by the weather reports on line for different places is still only going to help you a little.
