How miserable is Disney in August?

August is typically one of the hottest months in Florida. On top of temperatures that make you feel like you're being roasted, it often rains (usually mid-day), making the humidity level very high. Plus, it means you'll need to carry an umbrella or poncho with you to make sure you don't get totally drenched.
