Miami: The Land of Eternal Summer (Mostly)
So, You Think Miami’s Cold? Let’s Talk About That
You're probably thinking, "Dude, Miami is a hotbed of sunshine and bikinis. What are you talking about, cold?" And you'd be mostly right. Miami is basically a giant, sun-soaked petri dish for cultivating tan lines and cultivating dreams of retirement. But let's get one thing straight: even paradise has its off days.
When Hell Freezes Over (Or At Least Gets Chilly)
Now, when we say "cold" in Miami, we're talking about something entirely different from what the rest of the country considers cold. Imagine wearing a sweater and thinking, "Brrr, it's freezing!" while everyone else is bundled up in three layers of thermals. That's basically Miami in winter.
The coldest it officially gets in Miami is around 27 degrees Fahrenheit. That was a one-time freak show that happened way back in 1917. Since then, Mother Nature has been pretty chill (pun intended) and hasn't dipped below freezing too often. But don't be fooled, those occasional dips into the 40s or 50s can feel like the Arctic to a Miami native.

- Find an Indoor Pool: This is non-negotiable.
- Start Planning Your Next Beach Vacation: Because let's be honest, the best way to deal with a cold snap is to escape it.
