Orlando’s warm weather “in” and “out” list

We’re taking a page from our favorite teen magazines and sharing our takes on what’s hot and what’s not in Orlando.

A sunny day at the Orlando Farmers Market in Lake Eola Park, showing a crowd of people browsing various vendor tents lined along a paved walkway. Tall palm trees and a cityscape of modern buildings are visible in the background.

The farmers market is open every Sunday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

We already know you’re cool. You read ORLtoday — or if you don’t, you can start by subscribing — so you’ve got the scoop on what’s happening around town. But what about what’s hot and what’s not? Here’s a list of our hot takes:

Out: Sunburns.
In: Don’t forget your sunscreen. We like the local brand, Caribbean Sol. The biodegradable sunscreen company is family-owned and based in Orlando. Nice.

Out: Listening to podcasts while you run. That takes more dedication than we have.
In: Check out a local running group instead.

Out: Canceling plans.
In: Meeting your friends at the Orlando Farmers Market. Catch us getting there early to score the free nearby parking.

Out: Speaking of parking…
In: Walkable cities are so in. Much of Orlando is considered car-dependent, but neighborhoods like South Eola and Central Business District are hot to trot. Plus, there are always the bike and scooter share programs.
