Orlando’s Halloween Will Be Cool, But Not Record-Setting
Orlando is gearing up for a Halloween night with unusually cool weather. This year, October 31 will witness temperatures significantly lower than the average. Central Florida is experiencing a weather pattern influenced by high pressure moving into the Southeast U.S. A steady north breeze is providing an influx of crisp, dry air, making this Halloween notably refreshing.
Cool Temperatures Expected
On Friday, October 31, temperatures are projected to remain 8–10 degrees below the norm. The anticipated high for the day may reach only the low 70s. Notably, the coolest recorded high temperature in Orlando for Halloween is 66 degrees, which occurred in 1993. As of noon on Friday, Orlando’s temperature reached 69 degrees.
- Record low high: 66 degrees (1993)
- Previous highs: 70 degrees (1958, 1965)
- Record high: 91 degrees (2019)
As the sun sets, temperatures are expected to drop into the mid-60s, eventually falling to the mid-50s by evening. Trick-or-treaters should consider wearing a light jacket over their costumes.
Weather Forecast for the Weekend
Looking ahead to Saturday morning, some areas will experience chilly conditions. Low temperatures may dip into the mid-50s in most places, while some regions north and west of Interstate 4 could see temperatures in the mid-40s. The forecast for the weekend indicates pleasant weather ahead, with high pressure dominating conditions.
- Saturday high temperatures: Mid to upper 70s
- Saturday lows: Mid-50s to low 60s
- Sunday: Highs may rise to the upper 70s and low 80s
Most of the weekend will remain dry, but rain chances may increase slightly late Sunday night, particularly in northern areas. The anticipated probability for rain is around 20–30%.
Looking Ahead to Next Week
The weather outlook for next week suggests some uncertainty. A low-pressure system could form near or east of Florida early Monday, potentially introducing a weak cold front. At present, there is only a small 20% chance of rain anticipated for Monday. However, drier conditions are likely to return by Tuesday and into the week ahead.
