Best Time to Go

With families gearing up for their summer vacations, lines at popular theme parks can rival those at school lunches. While peak temperatures typically occur in July and August, summer heat is definitely felt in June, often accompanied by afternoon showers. A refreshing way to beat the heat is to visit one of Florida’s numerous water parks.

Notably, Disney World’s Gay Days converge on the first weekend of June. Visitors preferring to avoid public displays of affection among openly gay couples may want to plan accordingly.

June Weather

While the hottest temperatures typically arrive in July and August, it is essential to consider ways to combat the Florida heat during June.

Frequent summer thunderstorms are common and tend to be brief, providing temporary relief from the heat. For park-goers at Disney World, packing a poncho or umbrella is advisable during these summer showers. If inclement weather persists, there are various indoor venues to explore. However, it is crucial to remember that lightning poses a significant risk, especially in Central Florida.

Moreover, the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, though tropical activity is typically minimal in June. Understanding how to safeguard your family and vacation experience in the event of a storm is vital.
