Orlando, real estate virtual tours in bolingbrook for most people, conjures up the image of theme parks, mainly Walt Disney World , but there is a lot more. (In fact, Disney real estate virtual tours in bolingbrook World is not in Orlando, but is in nearby Lake Buena Vista ). With the estimated 52 million tourists a year, Orlando and many other areas in the region developed a lot to offer a traveler who wants to see something other than a theme park.
When people think of Orlando, most think of theme parks and a vast urban sprawl. However, the city proper contains none of the major theme parks (Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World), dinner real estate virtual tours in bolingbrook attractions (such as Medieval real estate virtual tours in bolingbrook Times), or even most small theme parks (Gatorland, Holyland Experience, Ripley's Believe-it-or-not, etc). However, since Orlando is the larger city associated with most of these popular attractions, you will find details and descriptions of them below.
Most tourists visit Orlando between June and August, while another peak time for tourism is March and April. Ironically, the less busy times for tourism correspond to the best weather in the Orlando area; the summer months can be exceptionally real estate virtual tours in bolingbrook busy with families who are making a trip while kids are on summer vacation. Visiting when the weather isn't so hot means less people in the area and that provides some advantages, but you will be able to enjoy cooler weather. The climate of Orlando is subtropical, and therefore is very humid (the heat index typically exceeds 100 degrees). Afternoon thunderstorms are expected in the warmer months, although they can occur in any month.
Many say central Florida has two seasons: hot and hotter. Orlando has warm, balmy springs and autumns; hot summers complete with daily thunderstorms; and temperate winters affected by the occasional cold front. That being said:
Spring in Orlando has highs in the 80s (27°C) in March April transitioning to around 90°F (32°C) in May and low-mid 90s in June.

This is the time of year in which many small wildfires appear around the region, but this should not bother anyone who stays within the urban area. March and April are great times to visit with dry days, clear skies, and warm temperatures (and no cold fronts). However, late May and early June are arguably the worst time to visit filled with hot, humid, dry days.
While most think of Florida as a year-round paradise, many would be surprised to learn that there are at least ten clear winter mornings a year when lows fall to near freezing. real estate virtual tours in bolingbrook However, even on the coldest of mornings, highs will soon reach into the 50s and 60s!

However, only once since records began in 1948 has any measurable snow fall at the airport (0.2" in/0.5 cm Jan 1977). So if you visit between November and March, bring a jacket...it may be warmer than northern states, but not as warm as you may think it will be!
Summer begins with the start of daily thunderstorms around mid-June. Highs from mid-June to mid-September are in the mid 90s, with 90ºF (32°C) often being reached by 10-11AM, and lows in the 70s (23°C).

The first cold front of the season will usually pass between mid and late October, plunging highs into the 70s (24°C) and lows into the 50s (12°C) and high 40s (10°C).
