Climate Insight: Bell, FL
An annual average temperature of 68°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 79°F to a mean daily low of 56°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Bell, Florida. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00080598 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in Bell should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs 54.4 inches, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 253 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near March 14 and the first fall freeze near November 22. And on the energy front, 1,449 heating degree days and 2,443 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Bell scores 82/100 (Excellent), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. For planning purposes, look to the monthly tables above: shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows, summer brings August-driven heat, and deep winter brings January-driven cold. Treat every figure here as a thirty-year average rather than a forecast - individual years routinely run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
