What is the usual temperature in WDW for Columbus Day weekend?

[MrsG]

We'll be at F&W for the first time this year and I was just wondering how warm will it be during the day and night on average.

Shorts & tees during the day and long pants and light jacket at night??? Is it pool weather?

Thanks.

If you scroll down to the averages it appears that the average high is about 85° and the average low about 70° so you may not need jackets. I always check the forecast online before I pack.

I was there in October of last year. Shorts, tshirts, bathing suits by day. There were a couple of nights that I did have jeans on and a light long sleeve shirt.

That's how we found it. The weather tends to be consistently inconsistent. You may find that you can get away with shorts and tees at night also but be prepared just in case. When we were there last October there was was springlike both during the day and evenings. When we were there at at Christmas it was another story. The Disney snow felt like it should have been real snow, unseasonably cold.

From personal experience over the last 10+ years you can expect comfortable (shorts OK) daytime temps and cooler (may want long pants) evening temps. However, that can vary greatly from year to year. Last year for example was very hot and shorts/cool clothes were in order no matter what time of day. Other years have been a bit cooler.

Your best bet is to check www.weather.com 10 day forecast as you get closer to your trip. But don't take that as set in stone. Use it only for a general guideline on what to expect during your trip.

Last year it was very warm that weekend. It didn't start to cool down until mid week and even then, it was still nice.

I don't think I used a sweat shirt at night until later in the week.
