 In October the dry season sets in across much of Florida and lasts until late April in most years . Fronts regularly sweep through the northern and central parts of the state which bring winter rainfall , but winter is often quite dry and sunny in much of Florida . Towards the end of the dry season in the spring , brush fires may become common statewide . In some years the dry season becomes quite severe in Florida and water restrictions are imposed to conserve water . While most areas of Florida do not experience any type of frozen precipitation , north Florida can see fleeting snow or sleet a few times each decade .
