Expect heat that lasts into the evening

July is Orlando's warmest month, with daytime temperatures reaching 30°C on 83% of days. London averages around 22°C by day in July, so this is a substantial step up from a typical summer at home. Humidity averages 81%, which can make being active outdoors feel more tiring. Keep strenuous plans away from midday where possible, wear loose, breathable clothing and make drinking water and air-conditioned breaks part of your routine. Evenings are still warm rather than a chance to cool down properly. This month is a better fit for travellers comfortable with persistent heat than those who prefer long, active days outside.

Plan for rain without writing off the day

Rain is a routine part of July, not an occasional interruption, so avoid an itinerary that depends on staying outdoors throughout the day. The wet-day figure does not mean it rains continuously, but it does make waterproof protection for your bag and flexible plans sensible. There are about 5 hours of sunshine within 13.6 hours of daylight, leaving a long day without a promise of clear skies. Keep sun protection handy as well as lightweight rainwear, and choose footwear you can manage if it gets wet. If dry weather is central to your holiday, July is a difficult month to recommend.
