August in Orlando vs Anaheim

[vcgirl925]

Beginning of August in Orlando vs Anaheim? I'm in Orlando, first week of August is 90-100 and all humidity. What is it like in Anaheim? I don't have many options of when to go. School is out June 8th and they go back aug 15th. Going back to nj for a week in June. Kids have camp in animal kingdom for a week in July. Want to avoid the holiday weekends. So it looks like first week of August.

The first week of August should be pretty nice. It will most likely be hot, but hardly any humidity. The latter part of August through beginning of October is extremely hot, and in my opinion, September is miserably hot and humid.

The difference in humidity makes all the difference in the world.

We were in Anaheim first week of August last year, and while it got up to 90, I didn't ever break into a sweat.

Did Orlando once in August. Temperature never got above 92, but it was like being in a sauna.

I say this all the time, but the key number to look at is the dew point temperature. That's really the best indicator of comfort during the summer months. This link has a good explanation of dew points: https://weatherwonderings.wordpress.com/2013/06/21/the-best-indicator-of-comfort-dew-point/

For the first week of August last year, Anaheim dew points ranged from 54-65 ("comfortable" to "getting sticky"), while in Orlando they ranged from 70-79 ("uncomfortable" to "miserable").

The weather should be better in Anaheim. It does not get very humid and sticky like Orlando.

Having grown up in the South, I'd pick SoCal, lol.
