Weather Comparison!!!

With the weather in the UK reaching temperatures of 30C - how will this compare to Orlando when I go in 2 weeks?!

This is nothing. Put humidity on top of this and several more degrees!!!!!

well to be honest this could be quite cool to what you could be getting what you need to take into account is the high humidity you'll get and that can make the temp feel 10 degrees higher. Night time temps are def higher in Orlando. Take that sunscreen with you

orlando has 100% humidity and about 95 degrees temperature (35 celsius), day in and day out in the summer....

it's the humidity that will be the worst part of it....
the sweat just stays on your skin....
it's pretty unpleasant to be perfectly honest, but hey, you'll be in the happiest place on earth!!!!!

but we go there every year in the summer....it's better than not going!!

Agree it will be hotter but I honestly think it easier to cope with. Every where has air con hotel rooms/villas, shops, rides. I love the sun but the heat at night is driving me nuts DD won't sleep up 18 hours a day. :0 I feel like moving in to our supermarket just to sleep at night lol

How will it compare....honestly, it won't! We have been twice in the summer, most recently last year, when we were there from July 25th into August.

In terms of temperature, expect 35+, but what makes it worse is the humidity as other people have said. 100% humidity is fairly standard, so it's hot and sticky. I don't think any amount of information about how hot and humid it will be can really prepare you. For the first few days, it can be really intolerable but you do adapt to it.

Plan to have breaks indoors and drink plenty of water! It really helps.

It may be hot and humid but I know where I'd rather be. Take advantage of the pools and water parks. Far better than a cold grassy paddling pool in the garden.

It is 92F here today however the humidity makes it really sticky. The sun is also stronger as FL is nearer the equator.

Good advice.
Go to the park for rope drop, leave at 1 to avoid the worst part of the day. Go back to the hotel to swim or relax in the room (with air conditioning) then go back to the park in the evening.

Thanks guys! The last time I went was 8 years ago in August, so can't really remember exactly what is was like, but I can't remember not coping!

We won't be doing midday breaks...we are very much power through people!!!

We are the same! We don't take midday breaks either, have always been in August! It is hotter and very humid but the fact you can Escape the heat by going into shops, or going on a ride makes it bearable! Also the fact that you have aircon in the rooms means you get a decent night sleep! Unlike here where there is no escape what so ever!

Only time I got really hot and bothered was waiting for day time parades! That was terrible sun beating down! Hot pavement! Too hot to stand but floor to hot to sit lol! The fans with the water spray bottles are my saviours for parades

It was just like back home yesterday though - 26C at Aquatica at 2pm. Caroline even had her towel around her after swimming!

I think the temperatures are a little cooler than average. There is only one day we have really suffered.

Best it warms up before Saturday then!
