A month-by-month planning table for Orlando built on the NOAA 1991-2020 climate normals recorded at Orlando International Airport - the same 30-year averages the National Weather Service publishes, not a forecast snapshot. Pick any month and get the typical high and low in Fahrenheit and Celsius, how many days usually see rain, and how much rain actually falls.
The shape of Orlando's year surprises nobody who has visited in summer and everybody who has not: June through August average 16-17 rainy days each with 7.5-8 inches of rain per month, almost all of it arriving as a two-hour afternoon thunderstorm on an otherwise sunny day. The dry, mild stretch is March through May and again in October through November - warm afternoons, cool evenings, and the lightest crowds outside school holidays.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit Orlando?
March through May and October through November. March averages 78.9/55.8 F with 6.8 rain days and April is 83.6/60.7 - warm-pool weather without the daily storms. October mirrors it at 84.7/66.2 F with 8.4 rain days, after the September rain peak eases.
Does it really rain every summer afternoon in Orlando?
Almost: June through August average 16-17 rain days a month with 7.5-8 inches of rain, and most of that falls as a brief late-afternoon thunderstorm rather than an all-day washout. Mornings are usually the driest, most reliable window for park time; keep an indoor plan for the 2-5 pm stretch.
What is the hottest it has ever been in Orlando?
The all-time record at the airport is 103 F (September), and the typical extreme for a summer month - the average of the annual highs - is about 97 F. Ordinary July weather is a 92.0/73.2 F average; humidity is what pushes the heat-index feel above 100, which is worth checking separately.
How humid is Orlando in summer?
Humid enough that the heat index routinely runs above the actual temperature - this table tracks the NOAA temperature and rainfall normals only. Pair the monthly highs with the heat index calculator to convert a 91 F afternoon into what your body actually feels.
When is hurricane season in Orlando?
June 1 through November 30, peaking between mid-August and October. Central Florida's most notorious year was 2004, when Charley, Frances and Jeanne all crossed the region within six weeks. Storm season overlaps the wet season, so the same afternoon-storm planning applies.
How cold does Orlando get in winter?
Mild, with short cold snaps: December through February average lows run 50-53 F and the all-time record is 18 F from December. A typical January day moves from a 49.5 F morning to a 71.8 F afternoon - layers matter more than a heavy coat, and hotel pools stay open.
