Orlando Halloween Forecast: Cool Temperatures, No Record-Breakers
Halloween 2023 in Orlando is poised to be unusually cool, offering a refreshing change for residents and visitors alike. A high-pressure system moving into the Southeast will create a calm and pleasant environment for trick-or-treaters. A steady breeze from the north is ushering in dry air, leading to moisture levels expected to reach near record lows.
Halloween Temperatures and Records
This year’s Halloween forecast indicates that afternoon temperatures will remain 8 to 10 degrees below average. Highs are projected to stay in the low 70s, far from the record high of 91 degrees set in 2019.
- Current temperature as of Friday noon: 69 degrees.
- Coolest Halloween high on record: 66 degrees (1993).
- Halloween highs: 70 degrees (1958 & 1965).
As darkness falls on Halloween night, temperatures are expected to drop rapidly into the mid-60s and even into the mid-50s. This suggests that those going out for candy may want to wear a light jacket over their costumes.
Weekend Weather Outlook
The weekend following Halloween is set to be delightful. Early Saturday morning will bring chilly conditions, with lows dipping into the mid-50s, and areas north and west of Interstate 4 could see temperatures in the mid-40s.
- Saturday Highs: Mid to upper 70s
- Saturday Lows: 50s and low 60s
- Rain chances late Sunday night: 20-30%, primarily in northern areas.
- Sunday Highs: Upper 70s to low 80s
Looking Ahead to Next Week
As next week approaches, forecasting models indicate some uncertainty. A low-pressure system may develop just east of Florida early Monday, potentially bringing a weak cold front. This scenario presents a small chance of rain, estimated at around 20%, with drier conditions likely resuming by Tuesday.
