Orlando, Florida Weather in March

March weather

March feels warm without the sticky intensity Orlando gets later in the year. Days reach about 27°C, while evenings cool to around 14°C. You'll get plenty of sun, though brief showers can interrupt a theme-park day.

It's a good month for walking around Lake Eola or exploring the gardens at Harry P. Leu Gardens. Save indoor rides and attractions for a rainy spell, and don't count on every afternoon staying dry.

Spring break crowds

Spring break brings families to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and other parks, so queues and hotel prices can rise compared with quieter months. The busiest weeks vary with school calendars. March also brings St. Patrick's Day celebrations, including events around Universal CityWalk.

Families who enjoy the parks will find comfortable weather, but should expect more waiting during school breaks. For a calmer city visit, spend time in Winter Park, where Park Avenue's shops and cafés offer a slower pace.

Make room for a shower

March is part of Orlando's spring and one of its best months overall for a visit. Rain falls on about seven days, so a passing shower is possible, but it usually doesn't rule out outdoor plans. The sun and warm afternoons suit a boat ride on Lake Eola or a stroll through Disney Springs.

At Epcot, use the park's indoor attractions as a rainy-day pivot, then head outside again when the weather clears. If you're visiting during the Flower & Garden Festival, its outdoor displays are a lovely reason to return to the gardens between rides.
