how hot is HOT?

[Gisele]

Oh why oh why did you have to remind us of that?







No, really.....

As it has already been stated, people will interpret "hot" differently. What one person thinks is too hot and uncomfortable may be perfect and ideal to someone else (same thing with the cold). It largely depends on what you are personally accustomed to and what your preference is.

If you are someone who loves the sun, then an 80-degree day will be wonderful. If you are someone who is extra heat-sensitive and tends to get sick after only a few hours in the sun (that would be yours truly, and it happened to me twice in just the last few weeks!), and you prefer the Fall & Winter months, then 80 degrees can be unbearable.

If you are used to 100-degree temperatures, then 80 degrees will seem like an arctic chill.

Typically, June is not all that hot as far as SoCal summers go. We often have the dreaded "June Gloom" (which I love!). We seem to start picking up the real heat when August rolls around, and then sometimes it can be really hot in September (a couple of years ago it was something crazy like 113 degrees).
But..every year is different. Some years it seems to be exceptionally hot for SoCal. Other years it seems to be unseasonably mild for SoCal.

Ah yes, the first EXPO..I believe, or maybe Destination D..whatever..I was there..seems I'm always there at blistering times. I really hate summer in New Mexico so would hope So CA is cooler but I seem to bring the heat. Even in January when we took our ABD it was well over 80s temp and the guides kept apologizing for the unseasonable weather. I'll be there in August so expect freaky high temps

Glad we are going in July this year...

We went in late June a couple summers ago and it was hot. I recall apply sunscreen over and over again on my DD afraid she would get sunburned. It just makes it worst when you can't more and you are standing in crowded lines in the sun. I think as long as you can move around it helps.

I can't remember if anyone mentioned it, but what about those misters? Do they help keep you cool?

i am in AZ too and it is 100+ normaly all summer long i remeber 115 being hott. Now 75-80 in cal for our trip im looking forward to it. I will have water and umbrelas to keep the sun ooff us when we have to stand in long lines.

I guess us Arizonans can handle the heat, but let us out into 50-60 degree range we shiver like a chihuahua.

I would be more worried about it being cooler than you expect than hotter. Trust my earlier post take at least one pair of pants and a sweatshirt/light jacket. Also don't compare June to July-September (summer weather months) and even October is warmer. June usually has cooler weather than May, strange I know. I think June weather would be more comparable to late April weather in the south. Having lived in CA all my life and visited my relatives in Mississippi most summers, CA has no humidity. Since I am a teacher we always travel during the summer and know to expect the heat and humidity where ever we travel. We are going to WDW in July and know we are in for all hot days and nights. Good luck on packing!
