Dundee, FL 33804 Frost Dates
Dundee, FL: when does the frost end?
The last spring frost here typically falls around 02/04, about 160 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 01/04, roughly 332 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 Dundee, not a forecast for this year.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 18 weeks until Dundee'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
02/04 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 01/01 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 03/11 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
