Orlando weather March 7-11?
 
We are debating whether to go to Disney World the second week of March for a little sun and fun. What are the chances there will be sun that time of year? <BR><BR>thanks,<BR><BR>M

Of course you know some &quot;nut case&quot;is going to answer this with some rude remarks. So let me get my idea out first. www.weather underground.com and www.weather.com both have a weather history area on their sites. Either a day by day or a graph representing each month with lines for average highs and lows and the real unusual highs and lows.Also rainfall amounts. I find these very helpful. I check the dates in question in the last few years ex;<BR>1996 TO 2002 Then average them out..of course they this is a El Nino year so may not follow the rules.<BR>A last resort is to check the weather site for Orlando weather when you are packing.<BR>&quot;Usually&quot; weather in Jan and Feb is more unpredictable.<BR>WDW is so much fun you won't even notice if it rains and cold you can always do the &quot;layer &quot;thing.<BR>Have fun..<BR><BR>

Martin, If you are from the colder climates of the US, the answer to that debate argument should be...&quot;Chances are a lot better that it will be warm and sunny there than it will be here.&quot; That's always how I look at it when I am looking for late winter relief from our weather here in Wisconsin.

Why don't you call the US Weather Service and see what they say.<BR><BR>Nut Case

Thanks for 'most' of your responses. I guess I didn't word my question correctly, but I just wanted some feedback from people who had actually been to Orlando in early March. I am familiar with all the weather websites, I was just curious as to what others had experienced!

I've lived in Orlando for 17 years. March may be rainy and cold or it may be dry and warm. This is by far the coldest winter we've ever had (it'll be 28 tonight), so I guess there's something to that El Nino stuff. You just don't know what March will be like from year to year. I can tell you what it will be like from May thru October, though - HOT!!!!
