ORLANDO, Fla. – Palms stand still under a calm, starry sky early Monday as Central Florida wakes to another warm, dry start. The region’s stretch of near-summer heat continues through midweek before a gentle northeasterly breeze signals the first hints of Florida’s fall transition by late week.
According to the National Weather Service in Melbourne, high pressure remains firmly in place through Wednesday, keeping skies mostly sunny and temperatures well above average for late October. Highs will climb into the mid to upper 80s each afternoon, with low humidity providing only modest relief. Winds turn light from the north today, then shift east by Tuesday, boosting the warmth and maintaining dry air across the I-4 corridor from Tampa to Orlando.
By Thursday, a subtle pattern change begins as a light northeast wind strengthens, ushering in slightly cooler air and lower dew points. While the change won’t bring sweater weather just yet, morning lows dipping into the 60s will feel noticeably fresher for early risers and theme park visitors. Those heading to outdoor events this week should stay hydrated and keep sunscreen handy, as the UV index remains high under clear skies.
Looking ahead to the weekend, long-range models suggest another reinforcing push of dry air arriving from the Atlantic, keeping the region sunny and breezy through Sunday. It’s the kind of gentle shift that marks Central Florida’s slow pivot from humid late summer toward its signature crisp, dry fall stretch.
