Remind me about the Florida weather...

[leebee]

We will be in WDW Nov. 7-12, 2015. Current projections are for temperatures in the upper 80s with humidity at 65%-75%. Will it be as hot and humid as the end of August usually is? Are we going to melt? It's hard to remember the warm weather; we've had full frost for several mornings recently, and a bit over an hour's drive north of here they've already had snow. (Actually, I can't complain too much; it was 65 degrees in Bangor, Maine this afternoon!)

1. No.
2. Unlikely.

If it were to get in the mid to upper 80's that would be above the normal for this time of year,however that's still 5-10 degrees less than what you'll see in August with far less humidity.August heat will wipe you out in 30 minutes,85-88 in November is much more tolerable.

It's still warm, but nowhere near as hot as the summer. You can tell it's starting to cool down and not having as much humidity now is nice.

Anticipate a mild 85ish degrees during the day and a low to mid 70 at night

Definitely keep checking as it gets closer to your trip to see what's projected. Last year in the beginning of November on one of my F&W days in Epcot, the high was 65 degrees and we froze once the sun went down!

 

[Sytrace]

This evening at EPCOT it was 85 degrees when we left at 8:15 PM. There was a light breeze which made it awesome.
On Tuesday, we had a "cold front" come in which took us to a rainy and cool (and I am laughing as I type this) 77 degrees.
This Saturday it will be 90 degrees.

As for humidity... 90 degrees in November is nowhere close to 90 degrees at the end of August. You will not melt or swelter.

I would advise you to check the weather again just a couple of days before departure. I would also suggest a light hoodie for evenings and air conditioned rides/dining.
Basically, bring what you would pack in the summer but add a couple of long length items and some lightweight jackets just in case.

Never believe FL weather forecast, its usually wrong even the same day. I am in NE FL and the other week the high was suppose to be like 79 and yet it was 86-88 as the high. It is so unpredictable.

Mornings and evenings are def noticeably cooler at this time of year, vs summer when its just hot and sticky all the time.

 

[P'colaBeachBum]

Not much in the way of a cool front so far. Only had the windows open 1 day so far. We will be at F&W on the 2/3 of Nov. Last year it was much cooler.

 

[ars0525]

I live here & will be at Disney Nov 7-8. I won't look at the forecast until the day before. It's too far away. lol

You won't melt. It's definitely not THAT hot even if we are having above norm warm right now. I'd pack a pair of jeans & sweatshirt for sure. Maybe even a light jacket/windbreaker depending how "cold" you are. I always bring a rain slicker.

 

[KateP85]

Florida weather forecasts are wrong 9 times out of 10. It's not that hot right now, nowhere near as hot as August. I don't think it will actually hit high 80s, I would assume mid to low 80s but there is a cool breeze and much less humidity. It's pretty nice, although I'm ready for it to get much cooler, I have boots to break out!

 

[Dis703]

No it won't be as hot as August. November is pretty hit or miss though so prepare for possible cool days. We went one year around the 4th to the 11th and while it had been 100 degrees just one week prior it only reached a high of 70 the week we were there and was quite chilly in the mornings and evenings.

2 years ago mid November it was mid 80s all but one day where it was in the 50s and rainy.

 

[leebee]

I was really concerned about the humidity. I can do "summer" temps, but the humidity in mid-to-late August is a killer. Once DD was in high school all our trips were then... and it's SO not fun when the humidity is so intense that you've sweated through your clothes before going into the parks! We are stopping for 2 nights in Manhattan on our way home, so we'll have long pants with us... especially arriving back in Maine on Nov. 14th. Definitely not shorts and hoodie weather here...

 

[Tink3rbell86]

My parents went the first week of Nov last year. One day it was chilly, they needed sweatshirts and pants. Then the following day they were in T-shirts and shorts. They checked the weather before they left and it said 80's the whole time. I'd make sure to pack a variety of outfits to be prepared.

 

[Hopefully]

We were there last week. The daytime temps were in the mid to upper 80's and the nighttime lows were the mid 60's. It was low humidity all week and breezy. I wore a light sweater each evening and I thought the weather was perfect.
Enjoy

And apparently even the day before is unreliable, lol. We just got back from one day in Disney and watched the forecast all week. Day before it was high of 85 and 20% chance of scattered showers 60% humidity. That morning the forecast was high of 82 with some slight chances of rain from 2-5pm and 75% humidity. It ended up a constant drizzle/rain from 1pm to 1am and felt quite humid.

Note to self: Develop accurate Central Fla. weather forecasts, get rich quick.

I went at the end of August, and the forecast called for extreme sun. After slathering myself with a thick coat of SPF 50, I bravely stepped out into Animal Kingdom and cooked for about two hours. Until the menacing thick black clouds rolled in. And it rained so hard my eyes were stinging from the sunscreen being washed away, and it became a very cold 60 degrees with my soaked clothing. The forecast for the rest of the day was rain; after a change of clothes I ventured out with a poncho and without reapplying sunscreen, after which time the clouds promptly dissipated and the UV rays cooked me to a perfect lobster glow.

Summary: if the hour-to-hour forecasts aren't correct, I sure can't trust anything several days from now!

FL weather is bipolar

but like others have said no it will not be as hot as the middle of summer I would suggest to bring layers like a light swather for at night because it can get a little cool also know I live in FL so my thought of cool maybe very different then yours

 

[larryz]

It all depends on how many people drive down from Maine, Michigan and Canada. Larger numbers of vehicles set up sub-currents that act like air conditioner ducts, pulling cooler Canadian air down the interstate system and measurably lowering the temperatures in the Orlando area.
