Just started to pack for a Christmas Day arrival, I see the weather is changing to cool, what will need to bring, jumpers,coats or can we expect a Brithish summer?I would plan on having some warm clothing for early morning and after sundown. It should warm up rather nicely during the day but be prepared for cool temperatures. Current forecast for Christmas Eve in Orlando is temps in the 40's with a high of 67 on Christmas Day and possible rain with temps in the 40's again on Christmas night.

I like having a "wind breaker" style jacket with me. Like USCWest said, it warms up nice during the day, but in the parks, just a bit of wind tends to pick-up speed in between the buildings, specially in MK, and it can feel very cold.

Here is the 10-Day Forecast for Orlando:

I have a lined jacket (the light purple Tinkerbell one, if you know that one?). It's lined with fleece material, and has a covered zipper with a hood. I also keep my pareo with me. I use it on my head mostly! I have thin knit gloves in the pocket.

Light enough to carry around when it gets warm, but warm enough when the temps drop, the sun goes down and the wind picks up.

Add an umbrella to that ensemble and you're good to go! :lol:

Sounds like a British Summer to me, then. :D

Nice statistics, SM. Now how's the forecast looking for Oct 06??? :lol: :hehe:

We too don't know how to pack. I hope it warms up a bit. Although here in Michigan the temp this morning was 18 dergress. BRBRBRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I live about 200 miles south of Orlando and it was 50 degrees when I woke up this morning..... So much for Global Warming

Actually... (and as Mrs. SM would say, my "smart *** remark of the day") :rolleyes:

Global warming melts the polar ice caps, dumping cold water onto the oceans, making winters colder... :D

(I sense a slap coming through the monitor...)

[JuniorMickey]

:slap: Yep :D I'm just complaining because I live in the greater Fort Lauderdale area (Coral Springs to be exact) and it is NOT supposed to get this cold down here :D

I hear ya! According to my local weather guy - it's not gonna warm up down here for a little while. :shrug:

[Kelly 1]

I think by Wed. it is suppose to start warming up.

[Josette]

Christmas eve was deserted the year I was down. *insert tumblweed here*.

Yeah, it was only in the 30s at night in 99, and the only people that were actually venturing out, was us northerners.


Pfft, it was only like -10 here, so 30s were warm! :P

[JuniorMickey]

South Florida has a second cold front coming through on Sunday. They're taking about temps in the low 40's with a wind chill making it feel like the mid 30's

My DW and I were there late Nov/ early Dec and it was unusual for us to feel a bit chilly in Orlando in the early morning and on a few evenings.
I must say that in a way though, it was a lot more comfortable getting around during the daytime compared with the high temps and associated high humidities we have been used to in August and September in the past.
It was also a good excuse for my DW to ask me to buy her a few sweatshirts and sweaters as she had "forgotten" to pack any!
