What is the rainiest month in Disneyland?

February is the highest month in rain totals with an average of just under 3 inches during the month. With this in mind, it would be a good idea to take rain jackets or be prepared to purchase ponchos while at the Resort. Disneyland in March is a great time to go with slightly higher temperatures and a bit less rain.



In 2026, historical weather data for Anaheim, California, indicates that February is typically the rainiest month for Disneyland. While Southern California is famous for its sunshine, the region experiences a "wet season" from late December through March. February averages the highest rainfall, often seeing between 2.5 to 3.5 inches of rain over 5 to 6 rainy days. However, May has recently seen a trend of increased "unseasonal" thunderstorms and "June Gloom" moisture, sometimes rivaling February in total precipitation. For visitors, a rainy day at Disneyland can actually be a blessing; while outdoor rides like Alice in Wonderland or Matterhorn Bobsleds may close for safety, the "wait times" for indoor blockbusters like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance or Pirates of the Caribbean often plummet as locals stay home. The park is well-equipped for rain, selling iconic yellow ponchos at almost every retail location. If you want to avoid the rain entirely, the months of July and August are the driest, often recording nearly 0% chance of precipitation, though you will have to trade the rain for intense California heat and humidity.
