BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO MIAMI

Winter (December-March) is the best time to travel to Miami, and the most popular. Temperatures are high and agreeable, but not too high. This is the peak period, with a wide set of events and activities (they enter in a pause during summer).

But winter is also a more crowded season, with large throngs and higher accommodation costs. So, you may prefer transitional months as April and May, or September to November. They are also excellent periods to visit Miami (Autumn is a particularly good period in terms of temperatures and precipitation.) Florida's Spring and Autumn months have very pleasant weather and hotel rates are much lower than during winter.

There is another yet more radical alternative, for those who don't mind to support lots of humidity and daily rainfalls (though often just in the late afternoon): the summer period. The rewards are significant in terms of hotel rates - and fewer crowds... 

Some additional notes:

- June to October is the hurricane period, but US National Weather Service tracks carefully these storms and gives ample warning if there is any need to evacuate.

- Afternoon thunderstorms are very often in Summer.

- Many inland areas are rather hot in Summer, but coastal areas benefit of sea breezes.

- It rains less in winter than in summer, but showers tend to be short; vacations aren't deeply affected by them. See Miami Weather Table.

- Especially packed days, weeks and weekends: Presidents' Day weekend (February), Easter week, Memorial Day weekend (end of May), the Fourth of July, Labour Day weekend (September), Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's.

- Orlando-area attractions (Walt Disney World...) are particularly packed in all school's out periods.

- Eventual winter cold snaps last only a few days; temperatures quickly return to higher levels.



WHEN NOT TO GO TO MIAMI

If you want to avoid the hurricane season, then don't go to Florida from June to October.

If you want to bet in low accommodation prices, then avoid the winter period, especially the November-March period.

Avoid popular periods, if you want to avoid crowds: winter period, Presidents' Day weekend (February), Easter week, Memorial Day weekend (end of May), the Fourth of July, Labour Day weekend (September), Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's.
