08Editor's notes

What the numbers don't tell you

July is the hottest, busiest summer month, with afternoons around 33 °C, heat indices above 38 °C, Fourth of July fireworks at the Magic Kingdom and Lake Eola, and daily storms on about fifteen days. Lines peak by late morning, so arrive at opening and return after the afternoon rain. Water parks and pools are essential. Hotels run at full occupancy. Parks run their longest hours of the year.

The Fourth of July weekend brings the Magic Kingdom to capacity on the 3rd and 4th, with the fireworks shown on both nights. Brazilian and Latin American school groups arrive in July. Hurricane risk is low but rising. For the sharp drop in crowds once Florida schools return, see August.
