January Weather

[kato0627]

We are visiting VWL in Mid Jan. Anyone have any info on what the normal weather is for this time of year. I have been seeing mid to upper 60's during the day. Thanks

bump!

We are going 1/27 and I am also wondering what to pack? I've heard be prepared for anything, but I really don't want to over-pack. (Yeah right! )

Here's what I was thinking:

We are coming from Mass, so we will have long pants on & a warmer coat

for dd 5 I was thinking mostly capri's and tshirts, with a couple sweatshirts and maybe two skorts.

for ds, I will probably pack 3 pairs of shorts & one more pair of pants with tshirts and sweatshirts,

same for dh

for me, I will just pack capris and maybe one pair of shorts and an extra pair of jeans. And of course a wide array of tank tops, shirts and sweatshirts. Oh, and sneakers, sandles and flipflops.

I will also pack some gloves and hats, although I refuse to think I will need them!!

Bathing suits and pjs as well!! I do plan on doing laundry at least once while we are there.

Here's a link to a graph of average temps for Orlando! Hope this helps!!

P.S. I'd rather be wearing gloves and hats at Disney then anywhere else!!!

Last year in January it was really warm at the beginning of the month (think capris and even shorts) but it did get a bit chilly in the evening. I would suggest taking at least two pairs of pants depending on the length of your stay. It started to get chillier towards the start of February. I was an intern at Universal and was outside alot so I got accustomed to the warm weather so when it hit 50 degrees I yanked out the gloves but I doubt you guys will need them.

O.K., we are at Hilton Head Island right now and I am COLD! I know it isn't Florida, but it has been 62-64 degrees for the past few days. It seems that it only stays in the 60's for a couple of hours before it starts to get really cold again. I only brought a couple pairs of pants for each of us, but wish I had brought more. My advice is to take more warm clothes than you think you will need. I am from North Carolina, so maybe it would seem warm to you here, but I'm COLD! Just my opinion though. Have fun!!!

It's supposed to be around 80 Sunday and Monday then in the mid 60's for later next week. The 60's aren't that bad, it's just that there is usually a lot of wind to go with it. I've been on the boats in shorts in Jan, and have also had to wear gloves etc.when it was in the 40's with 20mph wind. Looks like you'll be checking the weather for a few days.

Right now in Cape Canaveral... 74.

By the way, if you are going to be here on the 17th, have a car, and want a break from the parks, there is a rocket launch scheduled. The launch window is from 124pm until 324pm

January weather can be different week to week - sometimes it's cold (50's), and then sometimes its warm (high 70's). I am planning on going over to WDW for a day trip on the 3rd and it is supposed to be 75, but later on in the week, it will be 59.

I would pack a little bit of everything, since the weather can be really unpredictable.

Just be prepared for anything! This will be our 5th trip in January (leaving tomorrow - yay!) and the weather has varied every trip. On day you may be in shorts and warm, the next day it might be chilly and raining. Of course, it all depends on where you are coming from. 60 degrees feels so nice after being below freezing for so long.

We always over-pack for our January trip - you just have to be prepared for anything.

www.accuweather.com has 15-day forecasts, which are currently going to Jan 14. Looks like 70's for highs. I've been checking like everyday, even though I don't leave til the 25th

Two years ago we went and it was cool in the morning and warm by afternoon. Dress in layers and pack a spring coat, thin gloves and sweatshirts. Last year we were really cold. One day was in the mid 40's. BRRRR. We are from Ma. so we still went to the waterparks even when it was 60. I hope that you have great weather.
