I agree that the heat in CA is easier to take than the heat in FL because FL is so humid. But WDW is a bit more prepared for it, with more shade, more water-play areas, and more indoor waiting areas that are kept chilly and cool.

Having said that, I really hope it's down in the 80s by the end of the week.

it's true about dry heat i've lived SoCal my whole life but when i went to WDW for a week this summer...i almost died, its miserable!

The low to mid 80's with low humidity, and I'm a happy camper. Here it's been in the low 60's (found a C to F converter on line), and can't wait to warm up.

Boy it is HOT. I hate going outside at 6am and it is already 82 deg. This weekend is DH and mine's anniversary (17 years) and we were poor and didn't have enough money for a church wedding. Instead, we had a picnic in Ojai. It was 102 degs and we had an outside wedding. The good thing was it was truly a picnic. Guests arrived in shorts and t-shirts (we told them to). I had water balloon toss games for to keep us cool. SO I always remember that it gets hot this time of year for a few days. Those pesky Santa Anna winds!

This has been one of the hottest Septembers on record in Colorado. Here's a dose of fall for everyone suffering in the heat today:

I love fall in the mountains. Just disregard the fact that the temps were in the upper 80s when we took these photos yesterday. The pictures don't do this justice, there are carpets of gold aspens everywhere. Here's hoping everyone gets some relief from the heat soon. I can't wait to see more Halloween pictures (hint, hint Jazz!)!

Lisa,

Thanks for the images of Fall - I'm going to revisit them often, lol!

I just drove by a temp marquee across from my neighborhood - 114! And my atomic clock/thermometer agrees at 113....my kids say it is even too hot to swim. (although I guess really ).

Sherry, I too have been thinking about AmyPond ever since these forecasts came out - I feel so bad for her - hope she is finding some relief!!!!

it's 101 in nor cal....is the entire state blazing today or what?
I like hot weather but if i have to be out and about i would prefer under 90!
If the temps don't let up by the time my trip rolls around I just may have to dig out my water sprayer/fan thing i bought at DLR a few years ago!
That or just ride splash and GRR all day!

 

[idkmybffminnie]

I'm in nor cal too and i'm about to beg mother nature to knock it off. My costume has long sleeves and if it stays hot like this for the next few weeks i think ill die.

I've heard so many stories from so many people about what WDW weather is like. It sounds like it is almost hot and humid year-round, and if it's not sunny then it's raining and humid. Is that pretty much the case? Does it even get cool in December?

At least here in SoCal, we will occasionally see some chilly 30- or 40-degree weather on December nights. Maybe not every December, but occasionally. Often times it is not cool enough to even feel like it's the holiday season.

But in Florida, does it ever get cool in "Winter" or it pretty much just non-stop humidity and heat year round?

As much as I don't like this dry heat, I know I wouldn't enjoy constant humidity either. When we do have our humid days here in SoCal, here and there, it's just gross and sticky!

The weather in Fl can really vary. I grew up in St. Petersburg, a little south of Orlando, and I remember most Christmases we had our windows open, and I bet the heat was never turned on two times a year. I also remember a trip to WDW in 2003 over Thanksgiving, where I froze and had to buy some long pants and a sweatshirt. The humidity is pretty much a year-round thing in Florida, with occasional days of it not being quite as high.

If you think about it, you guys have the desert fairly close by that draws all your humidity away. Florida is surrounded on 3 sides by water and no desert to take any of it away. Here in North Carolina, we are a good 2-hours drive away from the ocean, and our summers are filled with humidity, which also leads to moldy leaves, etc. that trigger allergies. My son said his allergies have not bothered him at all since he moved to Orange County. When he comes home, they act up right away.

Thanks for the reminder! I hadn't even thought about packing our mister/fan from WDW! I'll have to add it to the list.

I'm in N.CA, too -- and after the coldest summer I can remember... it has to be super-hot the weekend we want to go to DL.

This was in my local ABC news alert that just came to my e-mail a few minutes ago:

A new all-time record high temperature has been set in downtown Los Angeles. At 12:15 p.m., the high temperature hit 113 degrees, which is the hottest since records began in 1877.

Officials say it is possible that it will get hotter today.

I can only be glad that I am indoors. I feel terrible for anyone in my city or in Anaheim who has to be outside for a prolonged period of time today.

113 degrees is just ridiculous - for any state!!!

I completely agree with this! Holy moly it is killer out there. I hope that everyone has somewhere to get cool.

 

[Halloweenqueen]

Boy, does it need to cool off in California! I want to wear a jacket on the night of the Halloween party!

The weather is gorgeous here in WA. We went to Mt. Rainier for a hike and the fall colors are starting to show!
