Lightning in Florida? I wouldn't worry about it, that is what the hat is for. Oh wait, they are removing the hat, never mind.
AND... Speaking of umbrellas at WDW (and in keeping with our earlier "electrical discussion,") one thing that one should NOT do is use an umbrella if there is a chance of lightning.
And that is why as a local I say ignore the weather forecasts. They just have no clue but they are forced to make something up to make it appear like they know what they are saying.
I took my nephew down to the keys last June to take him to Dry Tortuga National Park. The forecast was for clear skies. It rained cats and dogs and we never made it to the Tortugas.
After living in FL for 23 years I always said when it rained "As long as you can see a patch of blue in the sky somewhere it will blow over and you will be fine." 9x out of 10 worked like a charm
but had to respond! A Scottish friend always said when you see enough blue sky to patch a Scottmans's britches, then the rain will be over soon!!!!! Always loved it! Usually true, like you said!!
Well, that's great if people are considerate, but it works both ways. We have been soaked so many times by inconsiderate people with wet ponchos on that brush by us coming indoors, or sit on the bus beside us without blinking an eye! We prefer umbrellas, and are super careful and considerate of other's faces, eyes, etc.
Not much of an issue with us anyway, we never stick around in the rain, so are not walking around when it's pouring - yes, we are in the minority, but we plan enough days there that we 'will not' stay in the parks if it's more than just waiting out showers inside. Love rain, do not love getting my feet/shoes/whatever soaked.
i would have thought that a message posted on a Thursday asking about the weather next weekend would have been talking about the very next weekend coming up. Anyhow it is starting to look like rain now.
