36° on Nov. 11, 2025, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1976. Next is 39° in 1977.
Wimauma’s center stands about 110 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 40 ft to 120 ft, a difference of 80 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 4 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 17 mi of the line.
Sand, limestone. Age: Late Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 3.6 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Sand, clay, phosphorite. Age: Middle Miocene to Pliocene, 2.6 to 16 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
Sand, clay, dolostone. Age: Middle Miocene to Pliocene, 2.6 to 16 million years old. About 0.7 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Wimauma reaches Tampa Bay and the Gulf of America by way of the Little Manatee: about 20 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Wimauma; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Wimauma has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 91° in July; winter nights fall to about 51° in January. About 54 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Wimauma normally reaches 79° and falls to 58°. The record high is 87°, in 1993; the record low 43°, in 1984. The most rain on this date, 0.87 in, fell in 2023.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1976 at Tampa Bay Area Wfo, 6 miles west. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
