Summer in Disney World is VERY rainy as is, but there’s also the chance of tropical storms and potential hurricanes as the storm season runs from June 1st to November 30th. If you’re heading to Disney World soon, you’ll want to pack your rain gear and prepare for some storms, because there’s a chance of a tropical storm heading to Disney World.

The National Weather Service reported that a potential tropical depression is expected to hit Florida at the end of this week. The National Weather Service is predicting that in the next seven days, the season’s next tropical depression or storm could form off the coast of Florida.

However, regardless of whether it develops or not, there is a significant chance of heavier rain from the Fourth of July through the weekend, as the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry may also move over to Florida. The National Weather Service says, “Unsettled conditions with high rain chances expected to continue into the extended forecast range as the stalled front, accompanied by copious moisture, sags into the southeast and towards Florida. Heavy rainfall will be the primary concern regardless of development. Multiple rounds of showers and storms will be possible each day, increasing/compounding concerns for flooding.”

Watch out for flooding in Disney World!

Disney World has a tendency to flood in certain areas, so it’s advisable to pack extra socks and prepare for your shoes to get wet. If you prefer to wear sandals or shoes that dry quickly, this will be a good time to bring them!
