Florida On Alert For Falling Iguanas Ahead Of Weekend Polar Blast<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

As Florida faces freezing temperatures this weekend, residents should be cautious for iguanas from trees falling from trees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“*FALLING IGUANAS* possible this weekend in Southwest Florida as the coldest air of the season moves in Sunday morning,” WINKNews meteorologist Matt Devitt posted on social media platform X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Devitt pointed out, “We have a pretty sizable iguana population from Sanibel to Cape Coral to Naples. Locally, lows will dip into the 40s, wind chills in the 30s by sunrise.”<\/p>\n

In the past, the National Weather Service has issued unofficial “falling iguana” advisories for Floridians.\u00a0
\n“Iguanas are cold-blooded. They slow down or become immobile when temps drop into the 40s. They may fall from trees, but they are not dead,” the weather service said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The northern parts of Florida are under freeze-watches and warnings into Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The good news: global warming returns next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
