Oviedo, FL: when does the frost end?

Zone 10a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 01/17, roughly 142 days out. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 01/13, roughly 365 days after the last spring frost.

Zone 10a (30 to 35°F average annual minimum) comes from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map; the frost dates above are the 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting NOAA station for Oviedo, not a forecast for this year.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 20 weeks until Oviedo's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

How much risk comes with planting early here

01/17 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 02/09 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 12/26 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
