Orlando, Florida frost dates
Frost is uncommon in Orlando. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals give a 50% chance of a 32°F freeze after January 25 and before January 10. In practice that means a freeze in roughly half of winters or fewer, usually on just a night or two, so dates are a poor guide here. Gardeners here plan around heat and the cool season, not frost.
Frost risk by date
| Chance of frost | Spring: frost after | Fall: frost before |

| 50% | January 25 | January 10 |
| 30% | February 4 | January 1 |
| 10% | February 26 | December 18 |
Read the spring column like this: there is a 10% chance of a 32°F freeze after February 26. These are NOAA probabilities for the Orlando International Airport weather station (USW00012815, elevation 27 m), 1991–2020.
