September in Orlando is a Transition Season, Which Means the Weather Can be Unpredictable
September is a great month to visit Disney World for several reasons. Crowds are usually lower because most kids are back in school, plus there are at least two big events happening at this time.
September is the month when you can enjoy the vibrance of Disney Halloween festivities, plus the tempting food, drinks and flavors of the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival are also on tap.
Still, September also means transitional weather patterns. Preparing for potential weather conditions during the month of September at Walt Disney World can be a little trickier than other times of year. As a transitional month, there can be various things to watch for when it comes to weather in September and 2024 looks like it may be a wetter month than recent years.
A Disney World September 2024 Packing Guide
Packing for Walt Disney World in September 2024 is going to be different compared to many other Septembers. For 2024, the Orlando Disney weather forecast is expected to be hotter than normal and wetter than normal. A good approach is to packing like you would have for an August visit to Walt Disney World. This is a bit unusual for 2024 and it’s not always the case considering that it’s the first month of fall at Disney World.
Plus, with Disney Halloween in full swing and the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival fully underway, you may want to consider packing a special outfit or two for these events if you plan to take part in the festivities (both of which are highly recommended). We’ve featured to a couple of our favorites in this post.
Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in September 2024
The forecast for September 2024 at Walt Disney World includes the kind of oppressive heat and humidity that you pretty much expect in Orlando at this time of year.
For September 2024, daytime highs at Walt Disney World are expected to range from 86°F (30°C) to 95°F (35°C), while nighttime lows will hover around 73°F (23°C) to 79°F (26°C). And remember, these temperatures do not include humidity/humidex, so be aware that it can easily feel much hotter than this on most days. It is going to be an unseasonably warm September.
Unfortunately, the forecast for September 2024 in Orlando also calls for rain on 15 of 30 days, with the week of September 15 predicted to be particularly wet. While it many not be a total washout, keep in mind that weather prediction is hardly a science, but it’s still important to plan for some wet weather if you’re visiting Walt Disney World in September 2024.
The warm temperatures continuing into September along with the forecast of rain means that humidity is likely going to be a factor. High humidity can will impact your park stamina and the clothes that you wear (making them wet and sticky), so choose your outfits carefully and pack with this in mind.
Active weather, including tropical storms and hurricanes, is still possible as well in September. You can plan in advance for these by checking the local weather (on a local Orlando weather app) the day before you leave for your vacation. That will give you the most up-to-date outlook for the week of your vacation.
What to Wear in Walt Disney World in September
This year, September weather means you can continue to pack lighter clothing as you would in the summer. Light colors (which are great in the hot sun) are not as critical for the month as the forecast calls for a lot of cloud cover. Given the chance of showers and active weather, quick dry clothing and footwear are good picks to pack for September 2024 at Walt Disney World.
