The climate of Orlando (Florida
- United States of America)
Orlando is centrally located in Florida and is mainly known for the
big amusement parks which can be found here such as Walt Disney World
Resort, Universal Studios and Sea World. These parks attract millions
of visitors every year. The main reason for these amusement parks to
settle here is probably the favorable subtropical climate. However,
the city of Orlando itself has little to offer. Orlando has a distinct
dry and wet period. The wet period is from the end of May till the
beginning of October. During this period precipitation figures are
high. Rain mainly falls in the form of heavy showers after which
clouds rapidly dissolve. During the summer high temperatures in
combination with high precipitation figures may cause things to feel
muggy. Because Orlando is located in the interior the difference
between daytime and night time temperatures is bigger than along the
coast. During the winter subzero temperatures may occur during the
night. During the day temperatures will rise to a few degrees Celsius
above freezing point. However, wintry conditions are uncommon in
Orlando.
The most pleasant period to visit Orlando is spring. During spring it
is pleasantly warm and precipitation figures are very low. However,
this is also the high season. Because of this it may be crowded with
people and prices of hotel rooms and rental cars may be higher. We
advise you to book in advance and look for cheap offers.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
