Trade cloudy skies, heavy snow and freezing cold for perfect weather, clear skies, and warm sunny days!

The south Florida winter is the most ideal weather you could ever ask for. Singer Island averages a high of low-to-mid 70s from December through March. While the summer months in Florida reach into the 80s and have rain showers every other day, the winter is when we have the least amount of rainfall, averaging about 8 rainy days in a month. That means almost every day looks like a picture, with little to no clouds in bright blue skies, a cool breeze, and mild sun.

The lows get into the 50s on the island, just cool enough to keep your balcony slider open. The night chill also crisps the ocean so the beach is really nice to enjoy in the morning.
