36° on Nov. 11, 2025, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1945. Next is 40° in 1963.
Chuluota’s center stands about 60 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 20 ft to 90 ft, a difference of 70 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Undifferentiated sediments (sand, clay), from the Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 3 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sand, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Sand, limestone. Age: Late Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 3.6 million years old. About 6 mi of the line.
Sand, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 6 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

A raindrop that lands in Chuluota reaches the St. Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean by way of Mills Creek, the Econlockhatchee, Blue Creek and Trout Creek: about 210 river miles.
Lakes on the way: George, Lake and Monroe, Lake.
100 miles of the trip are on Trout Creek.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Chuluota; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Chuluota has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 93° in July; winter nights fall to about 50° in January. About 50 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Chuluota normally reaches 78° and falls to 58°. The record high is 88°, in 2008; the record low 40°, in 1963. The most rain on this date, 1.77 in, fell in 1954.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1945 at Orlando Sanford Airport, 12 miles northwest. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
