Thank you so much, I'm so happy to hear that last time it rained!
It will be hot and humid, high in the mid 90s, with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms.
Still not a bad time
Well, if a hurricane or tropical storm hits, it will rain all day. But generally, it will rain every afternoon. The duration will vary from less than an hour, to a few hours. But it rarely rains all day long. It will be hot and humid, with or without rain.

Absolutely not. It's a great time. Crowds are lower but it's still summer
. Also, I will add that just because it rains does not mean that it will get cooler any...sticky is more the word.

We just returned and it was pretty "sultry". The line for the new "Under the Sea" attraction was particularly hot, as some of it is outside (depends on how crowded it is) and there is no a/c once you get inside until you are actually about to board the ride. The ride is okay, but it was not worth the wait, which was easily 40 minutes (the posted time was 20 minutes).
It rained briefly twice at the MK. It just made the humidity worse.
We try to sandwich those types of rides with the Hall of Presidents, Carousel of Progress and The Country Bears = cool air. We treat ourselves to ice cream, slushes and cool drinks. Pace yourself; it is easy to become overheated. This year it was very crowded for late August, so lines were longer.

we have just returned too and on the second last day we went to Hollywood studios and after a while we got really thirsty and hot so we went to find a place for drinks and everywhere was closed (10:55am)!!! all the small carts and restaurants we closed everywhere we had to walk all the way around to the back of the park to find one! we thought it was really strange.

We were just there in August and it was rough. Particularly for us though, I think it was rough because we were there in early August, so it was very, very, very hot, but the crowds were also still there. We park hop, and we absolutely had to take a mid-day break each day and return to the room for a swim/nap before going to the second park. If I ever had to bear the heat of August again, I'd make sure it was at least late August so we didn't have to contend with the heavy crowds as well. We still had a blast, though!

We've been there the last two Augusts because of job schedules. Hot.Hot. Hot. Humid. Rain almost every day for a while sometimes heavy. Crowds seemed a bit lighter at HS, AK, and Epcot, but MK was extremely crowded every day no matter what time of day. Still better than not going. Be prepared for the heat and have fun.
