What this forecast covers
Current conditions and a 7-day outlook for Walt Disney World itself (the forecast point is on Disney property at Bay Lake), taken from the Open-Meteo API each time the page loads. Temperatures switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, and every day carries a rain probability and a plain verdict on whether it is a good park day.
How to read an Orlando forecast
A summer afternoon showing 40% rain almost never means a washed out day. Central Florida storms from June through September usually build in the afternoon heat. The US National Weather Service defines the percentage as the chance that at least 0.01 inches of rain falls at the forecast point during the period. It says nothing about how much of your day will be wet.
The number that actually shapes a park day is the feels-like temperature. Orlando humidity regularly pushes a 33°C afternoon past 38°C on the body, and that is what decides whether you need a break in the middle of the day.
A worked example
A July day reading 34°C, feels like 38°C, 40% rain is a normal summer day rather than a bad one. Ride in the morning, go back to the hotel between roughly 1pm and 4pm, and return for the evening. The shower will usually arrive while you are away from the park.
A February day reading 22°C with 10% rain is close to ideal, and it is a large part of why the quiet winter weeks are worth considering.
What the weather actually closes
Rain on its own closes very little. Lightning is what stops things: outdoor attractions, pools and open-air queues pause when a storm is overhead, and they reopen once it passes. Indoor rides keep running throughout, which is why a wet afternoon is a good time for the dark rides you were going to save for later anyway.
Pack a poncho rather than an umbrella. Umbrellas are awkward in queues and useless in wind, and a poncho folds into a bag.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the temperature at Disney World today?
The live panel at the top of this page shows it: the current temperature, the feels-like figure, and today’s high and low. It loads fresh from the Open-Meteo forecast API every time you open the page, set to coordinates 28.38N, 81.57W in Bay Lake on Disney property, so it reflects conditions at the parks themselves.
What’s the 7-day weather forecast for Disney World?
The forecast panel on this page shows the next 7 days for the Walt Disney World area, each with a high, a low, a weather icon and a park-day verdict. A rain chance appears on any day above 20%, so a day with no rain figure is a low-risk day. Use the buttons to switch between °C and °F.
What is the weather like in Orlando?
Warm for most of the year, and hot and humid in summer. NOAA’s 1991 to 2020 normals for Orlando International Airport put the average high at 72°F (22°C) in January and 92°F (33°C) in July, with average lows of 50°F (10°C) and 73°F (23°C). November to April is the drier, milder half of the year.

Does rain close Disney World?
Rain alone rarely closes the 4 theme parks, though Disney says severe weather can delay, reschedule or cancel some experiences. The 2 water parks are more exposed: Disney says Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach may close for inclement weather, sometimes at short notice and without a calendar update. Kali River Rapids’ hours can also vary in bad weather.
What is the wettest time of year in Orlando?
June to September. NOAA’s 1991 to 2020 normals for Orlando International Airport show 29.57 inches (751mm) of rain across those 4 months, about 57% of the yearly 51.45 inches (1,307mm). June is the wettest single month at 8.05 inches, and November is the driest at 1.79 inches (45mm).
What temperature does it actually feel like in an Orlando summer?
Hotter than the thermometer says, because of the humidity. July’s average high at Orlando International Airport is 92°F (33°C) in NOAA’s 1991 to 2020 normals, and the National Weather Service heat index equation puts 92°F at 60% humidity at about 105°F (40°C). Save indoor rides or a hotel break for roughly 1pm to 4pm.
When is hurricane season in Orlando?
1 June to 30 November, the official Atlantic hurricane season. The National Hurricane Center puts the peak on 10 September, with most activity between mid-August and mid-October. Before you travel in those months, check Disney’s weather updates page, which Disney uses to post news on tropical storms and hurricanes affecting Walt Disney World.
