22° on Nov. 16, 1940, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1892. Next is 22° in 1969.
Lloyd’s center stands about 120 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 70 ft to 210 ft, a difference of 140 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Texas Hill, about 280 ft, 11 miles east-northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Miccosukee Formation (sand, clay, gravel), from the Late Pliocene, 2.6 to 3.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 2 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, gravel. Age: Late Pliocene, 2.6 to 3.6 million years old. About 15 mi of the line.
Sandstone, limestone. Age: Middle Miocene, 12 to 16 million years old. About 9 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Lloyd reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Saint Marks: about 40 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Lloyd; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Lloyd has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 92° in July; winter nights fall to about 40° in January. About 59 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Lloyd normally reaches 73° and falls to 48°. The record high is 85°, in 2005; the record low 26°, in 1977. The most rain on this date, 2.99 in, fell in 2008.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1892 from the Tallahassee Area threaded record (Tallahassee Regional Airport, 20 miles west-southwest). NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
