Fall is here and things are cooling off – except for the weather here in the Sunshine State. 

As most places throughout the country begin to embrace fall's cooler air, Orlando is still hanging onto summer. With 90-degree temperatures still in the forecast, crisp autumn breezes remain a distant dream. 

As we wait for sweater weather to arrive, check out our survival tips for making the most of fall in Orlando.

Here's your guide for surviving fall in Orlando 

Key Takeaways

• Wear Layers and Light Clothing
• Stay Hydrated
• Cozy Up with a Rain Jacket
• Stay Safe During Storms
• Favor Indoor Fall Festivities
• Fall in Love with the Season at Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando

Wear Layers and Light Clothing

Fall in Orlando means plenty of warm weather, so you can leave most of those cozy clothes behind. 

Daytime temps in the high 80s and low 90s are the norm early in the season. If you're planning any outdoor fall festivities, make sure your outfits can handle the daytime heat and humidity. 

For keeping your head and neck cool during the day, skip the scarf and leave behind the beanie. Instead, consider a cooling neck gaiter or neck fan and wear a hat to protect you from the sun. 

While the weather is primarily warm during the day, cooler evenings occur occasionally in the fall. This means you can still wear your favorite flannel for any nighttime activities on your fall bucket list. 

To stay cool and comfortable for all-day adventures, it's a good idea to layer your outfits with lightweight clothing. Try wearing a breathable t-shirt and have a jacket ready for any drop in evening temperatures. When it comes to footwear, ditch the Uggs and slip into a pair of sandals or comfortable sneakers for those long days at the theme parks. 

Stay Hydrated

Nothing says pumpkin spice season like sipping on a PSL. But with Orlando's summer-like temperatures still around, staying hydrated with water is as important as ever. 

High humidity levels are almost a daily part of the weather in Orlando, even in autumn. This humidity can cause our bodies to lose more fluids compared to dry conditions. As you lose fluids from the humidity and high temperatures, you might not notice the typical signs of thirst. 

To stay ahead of dehydration, try keeping a reusable water bottle with you and refilling it throughout the day. This will remind you to stay hydrated with H2O while also enjoying your favorite fall drinks. 

Even Orlando's famous attractions offer water refill stations to help visitors stay hydrated. If you're visiting one, make sure to pack a reusable water bottle and refill it throughout your visit. 

So next time you sip your delicious apple cider or classic PSL this fall, don't forget to drink plenty of water as well. 

Cozy Up with a Rain Jacket

Curling up under a cozy blanket on a rainy fall day is a dream, but the city's rainy season takes it to the next level. 

While most of the country is now experiencing falling leaves and falling temps, the only thing falling in Orlando is the rain. 

Florida's rainy season begins each May and extends through much of the autumn months. September even sees some of the highest rainfall levels of the wet season with an average of six inches. 

This means it's better to pack a poncho than a peacoat if you're planning on being outside most of the day. If you'll only be outdoors a little, it's still a good idea to bring an umbrella in case of any surprise showers. 

While arranging your autumn plans, be ready for Orlando's showers so you can soak up every bit of fall festivity, minus the downpours. 

Stay Safe During Storms

Autumn brings cool breezes, colorful trees, and – rumbling thunderstorms? 

Fall in Orlando is essentially an extension of summer. This means high temperatures, high humidity, and a high risk of severe weather. 

For travelers visiting Orlando in early fall, stormy weather can be expected. Come ready with a travel-specific storm kit with water, batteries, and other essentials. It's also important to familiarize yourself with local evacuation routes before making your trip. 

If you call Orlando home, keep yourself safe from a storm by gathering any necessary supplies ahead of time. Make sure your home is prepared for severe weather and have an evacuation plan ready in advance. 

No matter if you're visiting The City Beautiful or call it home, it's important to be ready for any fall storms that arrive. 

Favor Indoor Fall Festivities

It may not be sweater weather outside in Orlando, but you can always make it feel like fall inside. 

With high heat and tropical storms still active during fall, planning a festive day indoors can be the way to go. There are many places in Orlando to escape the summer-like conditions, so there's no wrong way to beat the heat. 

A fun way to enjoy the season while staying cool is by going to the movies. If you're visiting Disney Springs, AMC is a great place to catch a film, offering both traditional and dine-in experiences. Stop by Disney’s Candy Cauldron, on the west side of Disney Springs, to grab some tasty fall treats before watching the latest blockbuster. 

Another place to keep the indoor fall fun going is Painting with a Twist. Their fall experiences are the perfect way to capture the essence of the season. Visitors can make their own fall decor while sipping on delicious drinks and getting in on some Halloween trivia.
