Miami Weather - The climate of Miami makes this a great all the year round vacation destination. Coupled with the wonderful sandy beaches, Miami is a sun destination winter and summer. The oceanic almost tropical climate means that the winters in Miami are warm and sunny while the summertime is not too hot, cooled as it is by the ocean breeze. So year round shades and sunscreen are the order of the day.

Winter is the peak season as the Miami Weather offers warmth and sun at a time when other states are enduring low temperatures, rain and snow and in addition, Miami can boast of up to six hours sunshine during the winter months. But this is also the more expensive and crowded time in Miami and hotel accommodation in particular can be pricey.

After Easter and before October can be the best time to visit, - accommodation is more reasonable and if you are near the ocean the heat of the sun will be cooled by ocean breezes. Summers in Miami can be very hot and humid. Average temperatures in August, the hottest month, are between 78° and 87° F (26° and 31° C) and the perception of these temperatures is heightened by the humidity from the surrounding water and it can feel even hotter. There is also increased risk of thunderstorms especially during the afternoon. From July to October there is also risk of hurricanes or at least of tropical storms resulting in heavy intermittant rainfall.
