Note: There is little temperature variation across Florida during the summer. However, during the winter, a temperature gradient builds, with the northern part of the state being a few degrees cooler than the southern part. The above stations, arranged from north to south with Titusville at the center, are able to provide a good, though not exact, approximation of temperature and precipitation for the Canaveral area. Data are available from additional stations, with shorter time periods, around the Canaveral area.
