Orlando has a humid subtropical climate with hot, wet summers and warm, dry winters. At Orlando International Airport, the 1991-2020 reference averages range from a daily high of 72°F (22°C) in Jan to 92°F (33°C) in Jul. Monthly precipitation averages sum to 51.4 inches (1307 mm) per year.
The wet season (May-October) brings near-daily afternoon thunderstorms as sea breezes from both Florida coasts collide over the interior. Hurricane season runs June through November, and storms crossing the peninsula can deliver damaging winds and flooding rain far inland. The dry season (November-April) is sunny and mild, prime theme-park weather. Winter cold fronts bring brief cool snaps, and El Niño winters raise the risk of cold-season tornado outbreaks.
