Hi,just got back and I am freezing here! The temps were in the high 70's most days and it was glorious :D We saw rain about twice but once was overnight and I used a jumper a couple of times in the evening but most of the time it was t-shirts and shorts weather[8D].
Speak for yourself Chrissy, I arrive friday and I want it hot hot hot!:D[msnwink][msncool]

we've done 3 weeks in may returning on the 28th and the weather was great -some days were really hot and humid but couldn't fault the weather as the afternoon rain doesn't tend to start until june.Bad only one evenning coming out of magic kingdom where so much rain fell it was like a river running down the monorail walkway-never seen anything like it before [msnoo]but oh we did laugh all the way back to the car dripping wet but great fun [msnsmile2]
Parks were so quiet in the first two weeks we couldn't believe our luck.We love this time of year and sure you'll have a fab time![msnsmile2]

Thanks everyone, keep the weather reports coming please - 3.5 weeks and counting down[msnwink]

Julie all I can say is that when we left Orlando yesterday it was the hottest it had been for the last two weeks . :(. so I guess its turned another corner. Why is it with each visit going home gets harder every time ? By April 18th you will definately need that sun tan lotion , have a good one.
Thanks Olive that's great news[clap][clap]
Weather looked good on my widget yesterday[msnsmile2]
Anybody out there can confirm??[msnsmile2][msnsmile2]

Sounds perfect Carol, I did not come back with much of a tan last year so looking forward to a bit of colour this year - I don't find I tan much under the mesh of the lanai[msnscared]

Try some tan accelerator Julie it works a treat. You just spray it on then apply your sun tan lotion if you use it. I buy mine from Ideal World TV when it comes on great stuff[msnwink]
Julie i would highly recommend avons skin so airbrush satin glow in the light for you, it's a lovely moisturiser that has a very subtle gradual self tan for the body, you just spray it on when you jump out of the shower
for the face i use olays touch of sun as it needs to be very light for me but they do a med and dark
neither look fake or orange [msnwink]
alternatively you can always strip off again and get a salon spray tan [8D] i'm not brave enough to bare my body for one of those [msnembarrased]

Julie - I've never found the mesh has stopped me tanning - I wouldn't be happy if it did [msnwink]
The mesh does not stop you from tanning - it just takes a little while longer and prevents burning to a degree. I always come back brown as a berry but I am an absolute 'sun worshipper' and sit at at every opportunity. I was sat outside our caravan in Perranporth for 4 hours last Thursday, then the cold and wind returned[msnsad]

I did some research and apparently it can stop 30% of tanning/burning and it helps keep the pools fungus free too[msnsmile2]

I think I would have to say that you still need to use your sun screen as the mesh will not stop you burning. My mum came in a bit redder than intended in January when she forgot to use her sunscreen.

I agree Jan, my little ones could spend all day in the pool if I let them but they don't venture outside or in the pool until the factor 30 has soaked in[msnwink]
Thgis week:-
Highs Mid 80's all week
Lows Mid 60's all week.
Slight chance of showers.
This morning was cloudy but mid 60's, expected to burn off early afternoon.
Yes it was a little cloudy this morning but its been absolutely gorgeous sunshine this afternoon. We went to Universal for a couple of hours and have definately picked up a bit of a tan[msnsmile][msncool] kids just having a dip in the pool to cool off.

It seems like summer has arrived early!!!
Very high 80's today, high humidity and scattered showers in the afternoon
It was very hot today (wednesday) not too cloudy and no rain in Davenport or Clermont. Sadly I spent most of my time shopping for our home so didnt catch any sun myself but my Son is a little lobster looking[msnwink][msnembarrased] Not sure where Frosty lives but it had rained overnight here but not one spot of rain today.

It has rained here on and off all afternoon/night. We had a bad storm around 5.30pm for about 15-20 mins and it dried up within an hour.
Snowing in the UK so it's got to be a whole lot warmer over there in Florida[msnwink]

I left FL yesterday and was to be honest fed up with the weather..never seen so much rain..it was not to hot just right...but everyone I talked to had a moan about how wet it was...I was not expecting it...never had so much rain when in FL this time of year before...but the plus is the garden looks lovely...

Don't worry Julie - Yesterday was in the high 80s, no rain, intermittent clouds and sun (great for walking round the parks), and today have woken up to sunshine again. Great tanning weather[msncool]

We have so much rain here at the moment anything would be better[msnwink]

Julie, I arrived yesterday and it's been an absolutely beautiful day today, at 6pm the car temperature gauge was stukk reading 90F. It's still hot and sunny now, a perfect evening.
Forecast is for getting cooler over the next few days but back to hot sunshine by the time you arrive, I'll be at the airport that day too picking up the rest of my family.
Will keep you posted.

Sounds wonderful - thank you!

Yesterday started off cloudy and cool and we did have quite a bit of rain in the afternoon but it certainly wasn't cold.
The sun is shining this morning with clear blue skies, unfortunately still only around 65F but off for a swim as the pool is lovely and warm.
No more rain forecast for the rest of the week and getting warmer each day.

Thanks Jill, it does sound a touch chilly so I hope it warms up by Friday[msnwink][msnwink]

Turned out lovely today in the end. After lunch it warmed up to around 75F+ and although I'd decided to paint the pool deck as it was cooler I ended up doing it in my swimsuit as I got too hot.
Jill
That's what I want to hear Jill[msnwink][msnwink][msnwink]

I am sure it will be fine and I really hope you have a beautiful day on the 29th[cheers]
Julie,
TV reported tonight, this will be the last cool evening for quite some time.
Its going to get a lot warmer from now into the w/e. High 80's to 90.
Bad news is the humidity is going to rise also.
Good news for you but not for me, no rain expected in the near future.
Looks like i'm going to have to run those expensive sprinklers[msncry]
Yay!!! Thank you Neil but sorry about the sprinklers[msnwink]
