Miami

What’s the weather like in Miami in May?

Located in the state of Florida near the Tropic of Cancer, Miami enjoys year-round heat with a warm tropical climate. Although temperatures are getting higher in May, there’s also a higher chance of rain, so make sure you bring a rain jacket in case of showers or stormy weather. It can be quite humid too, so a dip in the sea will be a welcome break from the heat.

Averages

In May, Miami experiences average temperatures of 26°C, but humidity levels can make this feel a bit warmer. With highs of 29°C in the afternoon it’s important you seek shade, wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. The temperature dips to 22°C at night, so it’s still warm enough for summer clothes or a light long-sleeved layer. It can be very wet in Miami at this time of year. With around 175mm of rain expected across the month, you should be prepared for a few tropical thunderstorms.
