Weather

With Florida being nicknamed the Sunshine State, you may be tempted to believe that it’s sunny 24/7. While it’s true that Florida is sunny most of the time, it’s also important to note that it rains in many parts of Florida more than most people think. Orlando has a ‘rainy season’ between June and September, and during this time it rains almost every day. Of course, it doesn’t rain for the entire day, but it can rain long enough to get on your nerves. On top of that, the weather is usually hotter after it rains.

No Beaches

Orlando is landlocked. This means that there are no beaches in the area. In order to get to a beach, you’ll probably have to drive at least an hour. There are lots of lakes in the area though, but let’s be real, it just isn’t the same.

Tourists

Last but certainly not least are the tourists. All throughout the year there are countless people visiting Orlando, usually to visit the theme parks.
