Orlando has a warm and humid subtropical climate, and there are two major seasons each year. One of those seasons is hot and rainy, lasting from May until October (roughly coinciding with the Atlantic hurricane season). The other is a cooler season (November through March) that brings more moderate temperatures and less frequent rainfall. The area's warm and humid climate is caused primarily by its low elevation and its position relatively close to the Tropic of Cancer, and much of its weather is affected by the movement of the Gulf Stream.

The Orlando area is home to a wide variety of tourist attractions, including the Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld Orlando. The Walt Disney World resort is the area's largest attraction with its many facets such as the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, and Downtown Disney. SeaWorld Orlando is a large adventure park that features numerous zoological displays and marine animals alongside an amusement park with roller coasters and water park. Universal Orlando, like Walt Disney World, is a multi-faceted resort comprising Universal Studios Florida, CityWalk, and the Islands of Adventure theme park.

Like Florida cities Miami and Tampa, the Orlando metro area has a large and increasing number of Latino residents (close to 400,000 in 2006). Orlando metro area is home to one of the nation's largest and most rapidly growing hispanic communities (particularly its metropolitan area numbering 219,735 in 2006). This is reflected by the abundance of mainly hispanic-themed restaurants and radio stations. Spanish language music, such as Reggaeton and Salsa, are common on Orlando radio stations. The Orlando Magic basketball team is the only team in the NBA to have a Latin Night, which is geared towards the Hispanic population in the area. The city's local newspaper, The Orlando Sentinel, publishes a weekly all-Spanish newspaper called El Sentinel. The Orlando - Central Florida area is home to the most affluent hispanic families in the United States, followed by Los Angeles and Texas. Many hispanics have relocated to Central Florida, mainly to the Orlando - Kissimmee area. The short air travel distance from Orlando to Puerto Rico, similar climate and job opportunities have attracted Puerto Ricans to choose the Orlando - Kissimmee area. Orlando also has many residents of Cuban descent, largely refugees or their children from the Cuban Revolution. Thousands of people pack the streets of Downtown Orlando for one of Central Florida's largest celebrations of Latino culture each year in October. Organizers say 100,000 people come each year to the Calle Orange festival. More than 40 artists perform on four stages. There will is also plenty of food highlighting the cuisines of Central and South America, the Caribbean.
