South Florida, in
the Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Coral Gables area, has the only sub-tropic
climate in the United States, other than Hawaii.
This region is exposed to daytime onshore
breezes and enjoys comfortable temperatures during most of the year.
Although the temperature is relatively moderate, the combination
of the temperature and high humidity can be uncomfortable from May
through September. However, cooling ocean breezes help to modify
the climate. In fact, Miami actually has fewer hot days each summer
than does the northern part of the state.
In wintertime, it is one of the warmest
places in the U.S. mainland, with sunny days and balmy nights. Most
rain falls in summer, with frequent but brief, heavy thunderstorms.
Hurricane season is generally August through October, with most
occurring in September.
