Weather in Miami

Miami Beach has some of the best weather you'll find anywhere - especially if you enjoy sun, and tropical breezes - but Florida's weather can be fickle so check for current Miami conditions before you make any travel or boating plans. This is especially important in hurricane season, which peaks from mid-August through mid-October. Emergency preparedness is important, and hurricane emergency kits are best prepared well in advance of hurricane season.
