Everyday for the next 10 days says scattered thunderstorms. :guilty:

Is that really what it is like, :umbrella: or is there any :sunny: ?
 
For the most part (and yes there are exceptions due to frontal systems, etc) it does not rain all day - we will get the afternoon/evening storms that come and go.

Due to sea breezes it is rare the this time of the year that you would not see scattered/isolated T-storms in the forecast.

I am right now watching "Local on the 8's" on the Weather Channel - and it is pretty normal - mid to upper 80's - chance of T-storms every day for the next 7 days. The mid to upper 80s is a nice change from the lower to mid 90s we have been having! It is 77 now with 88% humidity and not a cloud in the beautiful blue sky, by mid day, I would expect to start to see the clouds forming!

Yesterday we had a storm that lasted about 1 to 1 1/2 hours - rain heavy at times, light at others, but by 2:30 it had cleared and the rest of the day was beautiful. On Saturday we had the same mid afternoon, DD and I headed to MK around 7pm, and it was a beautiful night.

DD and I were at MK last Sunday and it rained hard for about 1 hour (she rode Goofy's Barnstormer 8 times in a row and was SOAKED - but had a great time). They did close rides for about 45 min or so later when the lightning was close to the area.

Rain at Disney does not generally ruin a whole day, but bring your ponchos just in case!!!

It's going to say that through September. That's the weather in FL in the summer. You'll probably have a nice sunny day until mid-late afternoon when thunderstorms will roll through and then it normally clears up in the evening.
 
Usually we'll get a quick thunderstorms that lasts 30 min to an hour, that takes an edge off the humidity. Yesterday we had a thunderstorm and it lasted a longer time. These storms usually come in the afternoon/early evening hours.

I agree - it's pretty much the same week after week - maybe the temp range changes a couple degrees here or there! For the most part I don't even watch the weather, unless I get a inkling that there is something tropical around!!!!
 
We just got back yesterday and it rained every day for about an hour except for Friday. This seems to be the norm for our summer trips. It's so hot there (sorry) I don't mind the clouds! Usually the day starts out sunny, and around 2 or 3 it starts to cloud up then rains for a while. Bring ponchos to the park every day and pack extra socks and shoes because our shoes took a while to dry out in the room.
