We all imagine the Orlando sky as a sunny clear blue sky, but like everywhere it has dark, cloudy and wet days. In fact, Orlando receives more than 60 inches of rain every year. The rain season starts in June and lasts through to September. However, this doesn’t mean it is going to rain every day or even all day. In the summer, the rain usually arrives in the afternoon, as a short shower, accompanied by thunder and lightning. If you experience this, simply take shelter for protection and wait it out. You will soon dry off as the summer heat remains strong throughout the day.
