Is there a month or time frame I can count on no rain, but still be warm??

We've spent years doing Disney in late August and contending with daily rain, some of which was significant. This year we went May 12-20 and not a drop of rain! And warm, sunny days! Can I count on May to usually be like that?? What's my best option for warm days with no rain??
 
Central Florida is a subtropical climate. When it's warm, it's going to rain.

Your best bet odds though are probably early November or late February. Still can be cold or hot. Still can rain. But your odds are better.
 

I go in mid-May every year and there is usually not much rain.
 
We have been some years either Thanksgiving week or the beginning of Dec and have had little to no rain.
 
We have always had luck with very little rain and warm (but not blazing hot) temps in that week that borders the last week of April/first week of May. YMMV! But be careful staying at the values during that timeframe (hordes of cheerleaders!).
 
We are local and have lived here for over 7 years now. You'll find that in "winter" the chances of rain are very low. Basically from December through May you'll be fine. Of course rain is always possible.

April wins for low rain and still warm(getting hot by then actually). But VERY big crowds. We prefer late February and November.

Nope - you never know! Last time we went in May (the 13 - 21 a couple years ago) there was a serious storm basically stuck over that area - total downpour every single day that lasted for the majority of the day.
 
Wishing for no rain does one thing...makes it rain. The rain gods are now watchfully waiting for you to go somewhere like a wedding, the beach, bike ride, and yes, Disney.

Really? What is it about April that makes it crowded? Seems like spring break is more in March than April, and schools are all still in session.

Yes, but I was hoping packing numerous ponchos and umbrellas and waterproof shoes could counter that, much like preparing for a major snowstorm where I live guarantees it won't snow...

Nope April is the main Spring break month. The week of the 4th, 2022, for instance is considered the code red SP week at WDW. Maybe you're thinking of college spring breaks? Although Id say it would start tapering as yo got closer to May.
