About

The mission

Forecast Orlando is the definitive portal for Central Florida's weather and climate — built to make the official National Weather Service forecast fast, clean, and highway-clear across six counties, from downtown Orlando and the theme-park corridor out to Leesburg and Kissimmee, and east to the Space Coast and Daytona Beach.

Orlando is the lightning capital of the United States, and the reason is geometry: the sea breezes come in from both coasts every summer afternoon and collide right over the metro. Add the hurricanes that cross the peninsula rather than stopping at the shore — Charley in 2004, Ian in 2022 — the launch weather at Cape Canaveral, and the heat that sits on the parks all summer. Forecast Orlando is being built to tell that story — county by county, corridor by corridor.

The design language

The look borrows from the American Interstate system — the reflective paper, the green guide signs, the blue service signs, the brown recreation signs, and the red-white-and-blue route shields — set in Overpass, the typeface drawn from the Highway Gothic lettering on those signs. As a metro site its hero is the six-county grid, in a jacaranda-purple accent for the trees that bloom along Orlando's streets each spring, on spring-fed lake blue — its own note in the network.

Companions & the network

Forecast Orlando is the metro zoom-in for Forecast Florida. The two are companions — the city and the state — alongside Forecast Miami on the Gold Coast, and all are part of the wider Forecast network.
