Orlando is facing another stretch of dangerous summer heat, with afternoon highs near 96°F and “feels-like” temperatures soaring to 105°F through Wednesday. After a steamy midday, thunderstorms are likely to develop late each afternoon and evening, bringing localized downpours and lightning threats to roads and outdoor plans.

According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday will be mostly sunny and oppressively humid, with storms most likely after 5 p.m. Overnight, expect muggy conditions with lows in the mid-70s and lingering showers. The heat peaks again Wednesday, with highs in the mid-90s and more late-day thunderstorms. Heat index values could top 103°F by midweek, while isolated storms may bring brief flooding, gusty winds, and delays across Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties.

Tuesday: Scorching sun, heat index near 105°F. Thunderstorms likely after 5 p.m.
