Wilma's rapid movement across Florida generally limited precipitation to between 3 and 7 in (76 and 178 mm), while some locations reported 1 to 2 in (25 to 51 mm) of rainfall or less.
However, the Kennedy Space Center observed 13.26 in (337 mm) of precipitation.
Much of southern Florida experienced hurricane-force winds, with Category 2 conditions likely occurring in Broward, northern Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties.
The highest surface-height sustained wind speed in Florida was a 15-minute average of 92 mph (148 km/h) at an observation site located in Lake Okeechobee, corresponding to a 1-minute average of 104 mph (167 km/h).
Much of the Florida Keys experienced 4 to 5 ft (1.2 to 1.5 m) storm surge, with estimates of nearly 9 ft (2.7 m) in the vicinity of Marathon.
On the mainland, the highest recorded storm surge values occurred in Collier County, reaching 4 to 8 ft (1.2 to 2.4 m) in height.
Wilma spawned ten tornadoes in Florida, with four in Brevard County and one each in Collier, Hardee, Highlands, Indian River, Okeechobee, and Polk counties.

Florida Power & Light (FPL), the largest electricity utility in the state, reported more than 3,241,000 customers had lost power throughout 21 counties – approximately 75% of FPL customers.
This represented the largest electrical outage in Florida history, until Hurricane Irma in 2017 caused roughly 6.7 million customers to lose power in the state.
Approximately 2.5 million customers lost power in the South Florida metropolitan area, equivalent to about 98% of subscribers.
Electrical outages for each customer averaged 5.4 days.
Wilma damaged close to 12,400 electrical poles and de-energized 241 substations.

The hurricane caused extensive damage to the agricultural industry, totaling at least $1.3 billion.
Nurseries throughout the state experienced close to $554 million in damage, with $454 million incurred to crops and $100 million to structures.
Sugar cane suffered approximately $400 million in damage, about $30 million more than the 2004 hurricanes combined.
Citrus farmers reported $180 million in damage and a loss of approximately 17% of citrus fruits.
Wilma also wrought extensive damage to businesses and housing.
In Palm Beach County alone – which experienced the highest damage toll at $2.9 billion – the hurricane inflicted some degree of impact to more than 55,000 homes and 3,600 businesses.
An aerial survey by an insurance disaster assessment team reported approximately 70% of businesses and homes suffered at least minor damage in six different municipalities in Broward County.
Damage in Florida totaled $19 billion, making Wilma the third costliest hurricane in Florida history, behind Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and Hurricane Irma in 2017.
Wilma is also the ninth costliest tropical cyclone in U.S. history.
Wilma was blamed for 30 deaths in Florida, of whom five were killed directly by the hurricane's impacts.
