Updated April 4th, 2025
No matter how much time you spend planning every aspect of your Walt Disney World vacation,
there’s one massive variable you can’t control: the weather
.
While there are plenty of ways to mitigate all types of weather at Walt Disney World (see some AllEars links to the effect below), it’s important to know what you’re getting into ahead of time — to the degree that you can. Of course, we know Florida storms, particularly in the summer, can be unpredictable and disruptive, but technology today does make it easier to have at least an idea of what you might encounter on any given day.
Each of the links below will take you to a separate website with weather and climate information.

Walt Disney World, FL Weather Radar Map
The colors are the different echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z) during each elevation scan. "Reflectivity" is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. Reflectivity (designated by the letter Z) covers a wide range of signals (from very weak to very strong). So, a more convenient number for calculations and comparison, a decibel (or logarithmic) scale (dBZ), is used.
The dBZ values increase as the strength of the signal returned to the radar increases. Each reflectivity image you see includes one of two color scales. One scale (far left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in clear air mode (dBZ values from -28 to +28). The other scale (near left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in precipitation mode (dBZ values from 5 to 75).
Notice the color on each scale remains the same in both operational modes, only the values change.
The value of the dBZ depends upon the mode the radar is in at the time the image was created.
The scale of dBZ values is also related to the intensity of rainfall. Typically, light rain is occurring when the dBZ value reaches 20.
