August weather?

[JustInTime]

Hello guys! This is my first time making my own thread. I hope I don't get in trouble. If this is a double post I am so sorry! But anyway, I am going to WDW on 8/19/09 untill 8/25/09. I am very worried about the weather. I know it is hurricane peak in Florida...But how is the weather? Is it really rainy? Do the showers go as quickly as they come? Are hurricanes a real threat?

Check the tropical weather report for hurricanes about 2 weeks before you go. If there's nothing tropical going on, then there's pretty much no worries on that front.

As far as having a perfect trip, the key is not to sweat the small stuff! Okay, so a hurricane wouldn't be small, but if one were to happen (I'm not talking Katrina type here), just embrace it as a memory. I'm telling ya, I had fun in the wet hurricane aftermath!

Well, I'm no expert when it comes to Florida weather, but I have a feeling that 2009's August weather will be a little bit better than August 2008's conditions.

I visited WDW Aug. 18-23 2008 and pretty much got soaked on all but two days. Tropical Storm Fay made a slow path up Florida. Althought it rained a lot, still had a lot of fun.

I was there at the same time! We renewed our wedding vows on Monday and it was sunny. It RAINED that afternoon until the day we left. The sun didn't come out until we were in the airport to come home. :lol: I'm going the same time this year so hopefully it will be a little more sunny for us this time.:sohappy:
