Weather in Florida in February?

[Deleted]

We are going to be in Orlando in Feb. I am inventorying my maternity clothes because I don't really have that many since I like to go from my work clothes to sweats most evenings. I think I need to order more vacation clothing. Weather channel is telling me the average is in the 70s. Is that reasonable to plan for, clothing wise? Any FL ladies have input?

I live a little north of Orlando and the heat has been so hard for me since i got pregnant. The 70's still make me sweat. I have mostly been wearing knee length yoga pants and short sleeve shirts or tank tops. Dresses if I have to. I can't see how far along you are but def wear comfy shoes. I mostly wear sandals or open toe shoes and my feet have been swelling so now tennis shoes are the only things that have enough support and don't kill my feet.

Weather in Florida is insane. I got married in February. It was in the 40's -50's in the days leading up to my wedding and almost 80 the day of my wedding. The majority of our wedding party got sunburnt (we got married on the beach.)

I've been to the beach (to lay out) in Feb.

The Gasparilla race series is also in Feb - The first year I ran it was 30 at the start. The second year, (same weekend) it was 80...

I don't know what you mean by "vacation clothing" ... I would bring jeans/long sleeve shirts & also shorts/tank tops with some light sweaters or something. Honestly, our weather here is totally crazy and you really can't know what you will need this far in advance. I'd pack a little bit of everything.

Sorry to be so vague. This week the weather is nuts. It got up to 80 today. The high for later in this week is 68. =/

It can be a bit of a crapshoot in Jan/Feb, as Stingyshark wrote. I'm currently from further south, but have been to Orlando that time of year, and it can be chilly to downright cold or beautiful and warm. I would check the forecasts as you get closer (not a big help, I know, but probably your best bet )

I lived in Orlando for 5 years, and the winter is really hard to predict. You're probably going to have to pack a little bit of everything because it might be warm in the day or cool at night ... Or cool during the day/cold at night. I'd pack layers so you can adapt your wardrobe to the changing temps.

Sorry I was unclear, I mostly wondered if I should rely on the representation that it will be in the 70s, but based on your responses, I see that it could be a crapshoot, so I'll plan accordingly to overpack
