Local Alerts
Useful alerts are specific, timely, and tuned to the places you care about. For Orlando, that means notifications should help you act before weather disrupts your day.
Local Alert Answer
Weather alerts around Orlando should be specific enough to separate routine forecast changes from conditions that need action. May through October demands daily attention for afternoon storm timing in Orlando, with hurricane-season alerts peaking from August into October.
Sea breezes from both Florida coasts collide over Central Florida on most summer afternoons, so storm timing and placement shift day to day and radar is the best way to catch where the boundary sets up.

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.
