Orlando-area temperatures typically range from about 52°F to 91°F over the course of a year, and are rarely below 39°F or above 94°F, per regional climate-normal aggregation. The hottest stretch runs through July, with an average high near 90°F and low near 75°F; the coolest period runs from early December to late February, when average daily highs stay below about 74°F.
Rainfall is substantial and concentrated in summer
Monthly rainfall in the Orlando area peaks slightly above 200mm (about 8 inches) during the May-September wet season, dropping to roughly 50mm (about 2 inches) a month in the drier winter stretch. Much of that summer total arrives as heavy afternoon thunderstorms rather than steady rain -- a real factor for outdoor plans and for lake-adjacent flood risk around Starke Lake and Lake Apopka (see taxes-insurance).
Hurricane season overlaps the wettest months
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November, with September typically the peak month for both storm activity and rainfall regionally. Because Ocoee is inland, the more directly relevant hurricane-season risk here is heavy rainfall and lake-area flooding rather than coastal storm surge.
Key takeaways
- Humid subtropical climate: typical annual range of about 52°F-91°F, with July averaging a 90°F high/75°F low and the coolest stretch (early December-late February) staying below about 74°F.
- Rainfall peaks above 200mm/month (about 8 inches) in the May-September wet season versus roughly 50mm/month (about 2 inches) in winter.
- Hurricane season (June-November) matters here primarily through heavy rainfall and lake-adjacent flooding (Starke Lake, Lake Apopka) rather than coastal storm surge -- Ocoee is not a coastal community.
- Frost is rare; heat and humidity, not cold, are the more consistent year-round planning factor.
