Florida’s climate is amazing for beach days… but not always for concrete pours. ☀️ Between the heat, humidity, and sudden rain, timing your pour can make all the difference in quality and strength.
Here’s what you should know 👇
🌞 Morning: The Best Choice (6 AM – 10 AM) ✅ Cooler temperatures help control the curing process. ✅ Less direct sunlight means slower evaporation — stronger concrete. ✅ Lower chance of afternoon thunderstorms.
👉 Ideal for most projects — driveways, patios, and foundations.
🌤 Afternoon: Risky Hours (11 AM – 4 PM) ⚠️ High heat can cause cracks and shrinkage. ⚠️ Rapid evaporation weakens the surface. ⚠️ Frequent Florida rainstorms can ruin a fresh pour.
⛔️ Avoid if possible — unless you have shade or cooling methods.
🌇 Evening: Possible, But Tricky (5 PM – 8 PM) 🌡 Temperatures drop — good. ⏱️ But daylight fades fast, and humidity rises. 💧 Concrete may cure slower overnight, which can affect finish quality.
👌 Works for small projects or shaded areas — but plan carefully.
