Source: Met Office, Bedford station, 1991–2020 ↗. Temperatures and rainy days rounded for display; Fahrenheit converted from the published Celsius data. Rainy days means days with ≥1 mm of rain, not days of continuous rain. Checked 17 September 2026.

Climate is a planning starting point, not a forecast for your holiday. The station represents the Bedford area, not measurements inside the future park. Check a local forecast close to departure.

For visitors used to Florida

Don’t pack from your Orlando checklist alone. The local averages above make an evening layer a sensible addition even in summer.

Rain doesn’t have a season off

Keep a compact waterproof layer accessible. A rain-day count says how often rain was recorded, not how many full days you should expect to lose.

Opening schedules are still to come

This guide covers all twelve months. It does not imply that the park will open year-round or confirm which months of 2031 will be available.
