October Weather in Orlando

[icarus]

(I wasn't sure where to post this, so here looked as good as a place as any.)


This coming trip will be my 4th trip to Orlando in October.

Just for the heck of it, I've been following the 10 day weather forecasts for the past 4 weeks or so. It seems that every day is listed as "scattered thunderstorms" or chance of "thunderstorms", etc. I am curious, how often and how long do these storms last, do they occur often, or is this a way for the weather forecasters to cover all of thier bases, knowing that there may not be any rain on those days?

The times that I've been to Orlando in October, I don't remember it raining very much, so is this just a strange pattern going on lately?

For my January trip, the forecast called for rain *all 10 days*! I was freaking out! It ended up raining about an hour on one day, but nothing the rest of the time.

Obviously anything can happen. However, we've always found October to be the most temperate time to visit WDW over the years. One of our favorite months at WDW. (But then again, all of them are... )


Good Luck!
