Orlando Weather In April
April weather in Orlando is comfortably warm and humid. With a normal high of 82 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of April, the daily temperature is warm, but not yet sweltering. Yes, if the temperature climbs toward the record of 95 it will be truly hot, but even then you will be able to tolerate the weather. You may want to consider one of the water parks if it does get that warm, however.
On the other end, freezing temperatures are really impossible. The record low for Orlando in April is 38 degrees Fahrenheit, but you are much more likely to encounter the normal low of 66. So, with a normal high of 82 and a normal low of 66, Orlando is a great place to defrost after a cold winter.
As for the chances of rain, it’s always possible to encounter rainy weather in Orlando. April isn’t in the rainy season, however, and there are typically just two in April in which over a half inch of rain falls, and 6 days in which .01 inches fall. Orlando businesses and theme parks always handle the rain well, since it happens fairly frequently, so you will probably, at worst, just have to wait a little while until the rain stops. Even if you are staying in a tent at Fort Wilderness in Disney the rain will only be a minor nuisance, if it affects you at all.
When you are packing, you may want to pack many more pairs of shorts than trousers, and more short-sleeved shirts than long-sleeved shirts. But do take a light jacket, just in case, and a rain poncho, along with sunscreen.
And do bring a bathing suit and beach towel, and swim toys for the kids. Swimming will be very enjoyable on almost any day in April in Orlando. The water parks will be a lot of fun as well. The Orlando water parks include Sea World’s Aquatica, Wet ‘N Wild, and Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. All of these parks are incredible fun for kids and adults.
You may also choose to enjoy other, drier outdoor activities. If you like to walk you may even find that you prefer the early morning over later in the day, as the mornings are cooler, and the same goes for running. Golfers will find the weather to be comfortable most of the time, maybe even hot in the late afternoon. You may want to schedule an earlier tee time, although it’s not as necessary in April as it will be in May or later.
There aren’t any obvious places to visit near Orlando that will have significantly different weather. You would have to head west to the Gulf of Mexico or east to the Atlantic ocean in order to enjoy any coolness near the beach. There’s no significantly elevated land nearby that would offer any different climate, either. So be prepared for warm and humid weather, and a small chance of rain, and come see one of the greatest tourist spots in the world.
