The hottest month at Disneyland (Anaheim, California) is typically August, followed closely by September. During August, average high temperatures usually sit around 85°F to 90°F (29°C to 32°C), but "heat dome" events can frequently push temperatures well above 100°F (38°C). Unlike Florida, the heat in California is often a "dry heat," but the intense sun reflecting off the pavement in areas like Tomorrowland or Pixar Pier can make it feel much hotter. September is also notoriously hot because of the "Santa Ana" winds, which can bring the highest temperatures of the year even as summer technically ends. Visitors during these months are advised to take advantage of the many indoor, air-conditioned attractions like Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln or it's a small world, stay hydrated with free ice water available at quick-service locations, and plan to spend the mid-afternoon hours back at their hotel pool to avoid the peak UV index of the day.
