Orlando Weather

Central Florida's climate shapes everything from crowd levels to what you should pack โ€” here's how to plan around it.

Orlando doesn't have four traditional seasons โ€” it has a hot, humid wet season and a milder, drier season, and that pattern affects crowds, prices and your day-to-day comfort more than most first-time visitors expect. These guides translate the climate into practical planning advice, not just temperature averages.
