WARNING: Heat Advisory Issued For Disney World THIS WEEK

It may be the end of summer for a lot of families as kids go back to school, but the summer heat in Orlando isn’t going anywhere just yet.

If you’re visiting Disney World this week, it’s important to know that there’s another heat advisory in effect due to the excessively high temperatures. If you’re not staying hydrated and eating enough, or are exposing yourself to too much sun, this can quickly become dangerous, so there’s a real reason to be on high alert.

According to FOX 35 Orlando, a heat advisory is in effect for Orlando and surrounding areas today. The advisory is in effect from 10 AM to 8 PM (basically a whole park day), and while the actual temperature will be around the mid-to-upper 90s, the real feel will be around 108-112 degrees Fahrenheit. The hottest times will be around 2 PM to 5 PM, so that would be a great time to take a break inside back at your hotel, hang out at the pool, or just take a break indoors in the parks.

If you’re visiting later this week, unfortunately, you’re also looking at high temperatures, and there’s no real break from the heat coming this week. Central Florida will stay in the 90s throughout the week and is under a moderate or major heat risk all week. It’s also important to watch for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke in yourself and the others around you. Both of these can very quickly ruin a Disney World day, so do all you can to stay ahead of the danger by taking those breaks inside, standing in the shade when you can, drinking plenty of water AND electrolytes, and making sure you’re eating throughout the day.

When it comes to rain, there is a high chance of rain all week, starting at a 30% chance today, jumping to 60% between Tuesday and Thursday, and slightly dropping to 50% on Friday. A lot of these storms will take place in the afternoon and evenings, so for Disney World trips, that means we recommend riding those outdoor attractions in the morning.

Even if you’re someone who’s normally outside and deals with the heat, this level of intensity can (and will) sneak up on anyone who isn’t being proactive and doing what they can to protect themselves. Don’t make that mistake! Drink more water and electrolytes than you feel you need to, and listen to your body when you need to take a break — it makes all the difference.
