Calling all Florida weather experts

[Dmto4]

I am looking at the weather forecast for next week. I know it can change on a dime, but there is a 38% chance of rain. Where I am from, that means two rain drops. What does that mean in Florida?

It means it could be raining cats and dogs over Men In Black and dry as a bone at Transformers.

You all laughing, but you know it’s true!

Ha ha! Fair enough. We will come prepared!

It could mean some really good rain for about 15 or an hour. It could mean drizzle all day. Come prepared. The good news is that weather changes quickly in Florida. If you leave your umbrella or rain gear behind, it will rain Heavily forever.

Plus it is that time of year, you could have dark gloomy skies all day and some rain every so often.

When it rains, you will be better off at Universal than at IOA. Universal has more indoor rides and 3 shows. If it is calling for rain I would start with outdoor rides so that if/when it does rain you still have plenty of indoor ways to spend your time!

Haha totally agree and is why we ALWAYS pack umbrellas and/or ponchos … just in case.

As others have said, 38% chance could many anything. The poster that said it could be pouring at MIB and transformers is bone dry wasn't exaggerating. Its really that crazy. I live here and we had a zero percentage chance one day but 330 rolled around and its pouring. Other days we'll have an 80% chance and won't get a drop. Last week it got down to 28! 4 days later it was 84. So yes, come prepared for everything, layers are your friend.
