A Beginners’ Guide to Miami Beach: Part 4 - A Totally Tropical Place

Miami is famous for its white sand and summer sun, but is that how it is all year round? This week, we’ll discover more about the climate in Miami.

Right now, in September, it’s the middle of low season in Miami. It is not uncommon for hurricanes to come along...which can be a bit off-putting for visitors or immigrants from countries that don’t tend to experience them, such as the UK or Canada. However, ask any expat, even from these countries, and they’ll tell you that you get used to how to prepare for them and find a way of getting on with your life regardless. The main financial impact of the hurricane season tends to be on obtaining the correct insurance on your property to give yourself peace of mind. In fact, there can even be something romantic about sitting on the beach watching the palm trees bend...

In contrast, the tourist high season in Miami starts in November and goes on until around June, hitting its peak at around February and March, when the big festivals such as the Winter Music Conference and dozens of others hit the town and the temperatures are pleasantly in the high 20’s or low 30’s Celsius (80-85 Fahrenheit). The tourists come for the entertainment and the wonderful climate to escape the chilly Northern winters.

However, this year, it seems that the gaps between low and high season are levelling out, according to a recent article in the nytimes. It seems that more people are coming to Miami to sip classy cocktails in the swimming pool to keep cool in the sweltering Miami heat of July and August.
