Orlando Weather

The best time to visit Orlando is in either Autumn or Spring. October is mild, comfortable and perhaps the most pleasant time of the year. It is also the time of year when the parks are quietest because children are back in school. However early May is another option, because the weather's great and most kids are still in school.

Most people, however, end up visiting during the summer, and the tourist population increases noticeably. Summer highs reach into the low 90s F/30s C, but temperatures drop down to the low 70s F/20s C at night. The June-September rainy season brings almost daily, but brief afternoon thundershowers (keep a small umbrella handy), the plus side is that the rains help by cooling things down a bit.

Orlando is surrounded by lakes, which keep the humidity high year-round. If you're not used to it, you may find the combination of heat and 60%-75% humidity uncomfortable. Be sure to drink plenty of water.

Winter temperatures tend to be a little cooler in Central Florida than in the southern part of the state, but it's not a bad time to visit. Expect infrequent rain during the winter months, when temperatures average around 50 F/10 C (sunny daytime highs will be in the low 70s F/20s C).
