Floridians are bracing themselves for a major storm.
Rain during Hurricane Debby
According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), Hurricane and Storm Surge Watches have been put in place for the Gulf Coast of Florida.
Believe it or not, hurricane season is not over yet, at least for Disney World. Hurricane season generally runs through the end of November, so we have several months of potential bad weather to look out for.
So far, we’ve only had one system that has impacted Disney World, when Hurricane Debby came through Florida. Since then, we have seen other tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, and now, there are currently a total of four systems the National Hurricane Center are watching for tropical storm or hurricane activity. Yep…FOUR. We were previously warned that this would be a busy hurricane season, and it looks like that’s still a very real possibility.
We’re in the middle of hurricane season, and there has been a lot of activity in the Atlantic region. Hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th, and so far this year, we’ve seen storms like Tropical Storm Francine and Hurricane Beryl rip through the country, producing heavy rain and strong wind.

Now, meteorologists are monitoring new developments in the Atlantic, with the potential for additional storms to make their way to the United States. Here’s the latest update.
UPDATE: As of 4:00AM CT/5:00AM EST on September 11th, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) has classified this system as HURRICANE FRANCINE.
September has begun and with it could bring some tropical weather.

September is the first month of fall, but it’s still part of hurricane season. The National Hurricane Center has been tracking a potential tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico, which continues to build. Luckily, Florida will be in the clear this time, but Texas and Louisiana will likely not be so lucky.
Planning a Disney World trip during the Atlantic hurricane season can be a roll of the dice.
Rain at Animal Kingdom
Just last month, Hurricane Debby made its way across Florida, bringing major rain and wind to the Sunshine State. The National Hurricane Center has been monitoring two more potential disturbances in the Atlantic — and we’re sharing the latest updates you might need to know ahead of your next visit.
It’s been less than a month since Hurricane Debby turned Tropical Storm Debby hit Florida.

The worst of the storm mostly hit Northern Florida while its bands swept across Disney World and Orlando causing lots of rain and storms. The parks never closed, but many flights were delayed and canceled at the Orlando International Airport. The National Hurricane Center continuously monitors the tropical areas for developing storms and hurricanes as Florida continues to be in hurricane season. Now, the NHC has been following two tropical disturbances in the Atlantic for possible development — here’s what you need to know.
It’s that time of the year when we have to keep an eye on hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean. That’s because hurricanes can and have, in fact, impacted Disney World in the past.
Magic Kingdom during Hurricane Idalia
Yes, the 2024 hurricane season is here, and it’s expected to be a very busy “potentially explosive” one. We’ve already seen a Cat 5 hurricane, Hurricane Beryl, in the U.S., that seriously impacted Texas. We’re keeping an eye out for storms that could impact Disney World, and we now have an update about a storm system that could affect Florida.
If you’ve ever visited Disney World during hurricane season, you probably know how much the weather can change in a day.
It can get VERY rainy!
But aside from those daily afternoon storms, Disney World can also experience hurricanes! Recently, Hurricane Ian (later downgraded to Tropical Storm Ian) caused significant damage across Florida, and now it looks like another storm could be forming soon.
Traveling during hurricane season in Florida can be risky business.

You’re pretty much guaranteed to get a lot of rain during your trip, and that rain can disrupt plans, whether you’re in the theme parks or on a cruise ship. But once those storms grow into hurricanes, you’ll find yourself dealing with bigger problems than rain. And right now, the NHC has one such storm on watch. Note: This post is written chronologically and you can find the most up-to-date info from today near the bottom of the article.
Weather in Florida can be pretty unpredictable, which is why we always recommend that you come prepared when you’re visiting Disney World!
