March 23, 2006 (Press Release) --
When to Go
The boundaries of 'season' in Miami - which used to be limited to winter - have been blurred by the huge number of people moving to the area and the stampede of fashion and film shoots. But the most popular time to come here is still between December and May, when temperatures average between 60-85°F (16-30°C), and average rainfall is a scant couple of inches. Miami's Carnaval, which takes place in early March, is the biggest and best reason to come, and hundreds do, so book early and prepare for the parading masses.
Summer can be summed up as very hot and humid, with thunderstorms every day at 3pm. August is the hottest month, with average temperatures between 78-89°F (26-31°C). Remember that it feels a lot hotter than 89°F when there's 90% humidity. However, the advantage of coming during the early summer, despite the higher temperatures and increased rainfall, is that you get more of the place to yourself.
The hurricane season - June to November - can be a perfectly pleasant time to visit, but be aware that it only takes one little hurricane to ruin a holiday.
