Florida (Miami) – What you should know
Miami and South Florida have a tropical-humid climate with two clear seasons. The dry season from November to April is the ideal travel time: temperatures of typically 20–27°C, low humidity and blue skies attract millions of holidaymakers from the cold north. The swimming season is year-round, as the Atlantic water remains on average around 23°C even in winter.
Summer (May to October) brings heat, humidity and frequent thunderstorms, which usually discharge in the afternoon and evening. Temperatures of typically 30–31°C with high humidity make sightseeing tours tiring. Added to this is hurricane season, which runs from June to November — with the peak in September.
Winter in Miami is a climate paradise: while Europe freezes, Miami's beachgoers enjoy T-shirt weather and sunshine. January and February are the most popular months — rightly so, for the weather is almost perfect for outdoor activities, boat trips into the Everglades and diving in the Florida Keys.
