Frost dates for San Antonio, FL, ZIP 34673

Zone 10a

Around 03/01 is the usual last spring frost, about 185 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 12/05, about 281 frost-free days later.

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 San Antonio, not a forecast for this year.

What to do before the first frost

Zone 10a around San Antonio has about 14 weeks left before the first fall frost — that's the usual window to get a cold frame up if you want to keep harvesting past it.

Why 03/01 isn't a guarantee

03/01 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 01/30 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 03/27 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
