Central Florida in September typically experiences hot and humid conditions, with average high temperatures in the low 90s Fahrenheit (around 33 degrees Celsius) and high humidity. Afternoon thunderstorms are common, often brief but intense. Hurricane season is also a factor during this month, although direct impacts are less frequent than later in the season. These conditions can significantly influence park experiences, from ride closures to guest comfort.
Understanding the typical climate patterns of this period is crucial for visitors planning a trip. Being prepared for both heat and rain allows for a more enjoyable experience. Packing appropriate clothing, staying hydrated, and scheduling indoor activities or breaks during the hottest parts of the day can significantly improve visitor comfort. Having contingency plans for inclement weather, such as ponchos and alternative indoor attractions, also minimizes disruptions. Historically, September has offered a balance between lower crowd levels compared to the summer months and the Halloween festivities starting towards the end of the month, presenting a potentially advantageous time to visit.
