All Months
Winter is peak season for obvious reasons - perfect 75-80°F weather, low humidity, and minimal rain. December through April sees the highest prices and biggest crowds, especially during Art Basel in early December and Spring Break in March. May through October brings sweltering heat, afternoon thunderstorms, and potential hurricanes, but also 40% cheaper hotel rates and fewer tourists. Hurricane season officially runs June through November, though September and October pose the highest risk. November and April offer the best balance of good weather and reasonable prices. Avoid Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends unless you enjoy human sardine experiences.
