Climate Insight: Bushnell, FL

An annual average temperature of 70°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 82°F to a mean daily low of 57°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Bushnell, Florida. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00081163 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.

Bushnell averages an uncharted amount of precipitation a year, predominantly as rainfall, and that matters as much to daily life here as temperature does. The frost-free season averages 278 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near March 2 and the first fall freeze near December 5. As for energy demand, 968 heating degree days and 2,666 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Bushnell scores 77/100 (Good), 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.
