WARNING! There's A Reason You Need To Be Careful In Disney World This Week

Disney World summers continue to be a serious topic in our virtual household!

Storms in EPCOT!

The heat can make people sick, and storms can throw big wrenches in your day. If you’re not prepared with the best tool bag and the right mentality, it can turn your magical vacation into a nightmare! If you’re in Disney World this week, you need to hear this big word of warning before heading into the park.

Summer in Disney World continues to live up to the hype. Before going to Orlando, you might have had people warn you about the heat and summer showers and thought to yourself, “Oh, I’ll be okay!” Well, this week is here to prove exactly WHY people warn you. According to Click Orlando, this week is going to be a typical Disney World summer.

Magic Kingdom

This week is kicking off with storms on Monday, July 6th. The greatest chance for rain is around 60% to 70% near and south of Seminole County. The outlet predicts the storms could be strong enough to produce lightning and winds between 45 and 55 miles per hour. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 90s before the storm, but those muggy conditions won’t end with the rain. They will continue through the night.

On Tuesday, rain chances will be lower, so you won’t be as soaked. (Hopefully). By Wednesday, isolated showers and storms are expected to continue. Thursday is expected to be mostly dry with rain chances sitting between 20% and 30%. The heat is more concerning than the rain, though!

High pressure is expected to build over the Southeast, which will make way for temperatures to climb into the mid and upper 90s during the latter half of the week. That means stay hydrated and keep your fans charged! The heat index could reach or exceed 108 degrees, which means Heat Advisories might be issued.

Going into the weekend, you can continue to brace for rain. Rain chances are expected to grow again by the weekend, so keep those umbrellas and Frogg Toggs handy. Bad weather doesn’t mean you need to have a bad Disney day! We like to stay prepared by keeping our Frogg Togg ponchos, our best fans, a great water bottle, and sturdy shoes with us at all times. Staying prepared is better than being caught unaware! As always, be sure to keep following DFB for more theme park warnings, tips, and tricks.
