Remind me about the Florida weather...

[tinkerbella16]

It has been really humid at night, No real feeling of cool. It sucks. I am NE FL and Halloween night walking around the neighborhood I was sweating as much as I did at the halloween party at disney in sept.

I am going this weekend and wish I could cancel and go later now with how hot it is going to be. SO diasppointed with these record highs.

Yeah I am not surprised, as it is unusually warm where I live in NJ right now. But I will make the best of it! Maybe I should leave my long jeans at home!

We were there last week and it was pretty warm for us coming from Buffalo! Mid-80s and what seemed to us to be high humidity. We wore tank tops and shorts every day, even at night when it was in the upper 70s. The humidity did it for us.

I'll be there Nov. 9-15. I've lost about 45 pounds this year and haven't bought new shorts/capris because I hope to have lost even more by the time I need them next year. Will I be too hot/miserable in jeans/ pants if it really is in the 80s every day?

Depends on where you are from and what you are acclimated to. Folks from the South can wear jeans and sleeves to the mid 80s without breaking a sweat but put on a sweater once the temps dip into the 60s. Those from the North are comfortable wearing shorts into the upper 30s but start melting at 75.

We were also there last week and found it to be hotter than we expected. We always have high humidity here at the jersey shore in the summer but the humidity last week was awful. My face sweats and it was never dry. It felt like our AUg trips.

They are from Maine! They likely wear shorts into the upper 30s.

Haha!! So true. I have a hoodie on when it hits 79. I am from Chicago only 2 years ago, but have never liked cold. I am the one at Disney in several layers while the vacationers are in shorts & tanks!

Just got back and it was 85ish and humid. But all the buildings and buses were freezing. So you may want a hoodie. I had capris and t-shirts and was fine. Day we flew home I had capris and long sleeve and was hot while we hung out all day waiting for late ME. But it was cold here at home when we landed.

Well, ask the folks who were at WDW the first week in December 2010 how warm it was. We were wearing winter jackets, hats, and gloves and still freezing while we waited for the dancing lights. Of course, what feels cold to us Floridians may not feel cold to others. It starts feeling really cold to me when it gets about 40 or below, especially if it's windy. The one time I have seen snow flurries since I moved to Florida more than 30 years ago was in December. We had rolling blackouts one December because the power company couldn't keep up with the usage in the cold weather.

It really all relates to what is happening up north. If the winter starts early up there, then we start getting cold fronts early down here. Our coldest months are usually January and February, but it's certainly possible to have cold weather here in November and December, and you don't always have a lot of advance warning that a real cold snap is on the way.

It's hit. Trust me. I live here now. Been for the last 38 years. Once in a blue moon. Sure. All the time. Hot.

We are leaving in 2 days. We have gone to wdw 4 times this time of year each time the weather was completely different. I usually pack for everything. Last year I wore pants everyday and was comfortable for the most part of the day except for a couple hours mid day were it was hot! Although I tend to be cold a lot even though I'm from buffalo! This year im thinking I'll try shorts and sweatshirt at night it seems like it's going to be pretty warm but I also heard a rumor of a cold front coming. Why is it soooo confusing!
