    Current Weather

    We are off in 12 days..
    The weather forecasts have thunderstorms every day (as you would expect at this time of year)
    But, are they like we experienced a few years ago (you can set your watch by them.. 4:30pm and down it comes for a short while, clears the air and then is sunny again) or are they long lasting and disrupting days..??
    After the mental storms and flash flooding we have experienced in London this week my youngest is concerned that she will be sitting in doors watching the rain all holiday...

    Hi Bluedaze, Dont think the storms have changed much! Still a big downpoor in the afternoon then it clears up again like nothing happened. I have been speeking to my agent who is purhcasing my villa for me and she says the weather is normal only 1 bad day of rain in the last couple of weeks.

    I live and fly here. (I'm a pilot based at MCO).
    The weather kinda sucks right now. In the morning it's great. Pool time! Aroung 85 dgrs. But it's clouding over around midday and staying that way until around 7ish. Around 90 dgrs. The storms are scattered, but if you get one you'll get hammered!

    Have a great vacation.

    I also live here and the storms are bubbling up any time at the mo, It is 11.30 am now and already clouding over. Just very hot and steamy and humid. I know people are tied to school hols but it is the worst possible time to come here. I agree with the statement the weaather sucks!!

    100% correct! The best time in Orlando is either spring or fall (autumn). Even winter if you bring a jacket. Summer can me miserable.

    Well, I bet that piece of info from the two of you has cheered up BlueDaze and anyone else going to Florida shortly no end!

    Take no notice BlueDaze, they both live in Florida and have obviously forgotten how miserable. rainy and cold the UK summers can be if they can moan about Florida weather!

    The rain normally doesn't last very long and it's still warm! Everywhere is air conditioned (cars, hotels, homes, shops, etc) so humid isn't as bad as it is in the UK and the sun shines an awful lot more in Florida!

    Have a great time!

    Having just returned from Florida to the most yukky humid, sticky and yet rainy weather here I would definitely choose August in Florida over the Uk anyday. At least as Blott says there is air conditioning everywhere whereas here the humidity is relentless, in Florida you are only in it for a limited time before you are back in a car or shop or villa and can cool down easily.

    There really isnt much to do here with the weather like this, it is either too hot outside without a pool to cool down or too wet to go anywhere. In Florida when it rains there is still so much to do and it isnt depressing rain like it is here. I would much rather spend August in Florida given a choice.

    Blott (positive as always) & Huckleberry House,

    Thankyou for your encouraging words, but my daughter is still in her bedroom sobbing...
    I do believe that these locals are just trying to keep the numbers down out there so its easier for them to get to work and one of them purporting to be a Chelsea fan..shame on him.!!

    Well. We're coming. We're going to get hot AND wet and we are going to have a great time doing it..
