What's the Weather Like in Miami in April
April can perhaps be considered as the start of the summer season in Florida, as the weather starts to pick up again after a slight slump in the winter.
Sunshine
At the very least, this month signals the end of the cooler weather as we move towards a higher percentage of sunshine during the daytime. There are an average of 9 hours a day of sunshine during this month, which means more time for heat to build up.
Sea Temperature
The beaches of Miami start to get a bit more popular during this month too, with the average sea temperature rising just a little to 25°C which is perfect for a swim.
Temperature
Regular visitors will also notice a higher daily temperature as the average rises to 23°C on land, with a high of 27°C and a low which does not drop below 19°C.
Rain
You may want to check a weather forecast before going out, as the rainfall starts to increase this month as well. There are still only going to be only an average of 7 wet days, but during that time, around 81mm will fall. This means the rain may be sudden and heavy.
Interestingly enough, it can be on average a couple of degrees warmer just a little way up the coast, in Fort Lauderdale. There are plenty of beaches in between the two cities if you would like to try your luck for a warmer day.
Humidity
From this month onwards, temperatures start to soar but beware the humidity that comes with them. Many visitors, especially those that come from cooler countries, find that it is more comfortable to visit Miami outside of the peak summer times in order to avoid the humidity which can make for a very sticky visit. Next month the rainfall starts to increase dramatically, which can lead to storms and even extreme weather putting an occasional dampener on your plans.

Things to Do in Miami in April
Buffalo Tigers FL Everglades Airboat Rides
If you are willing to travel a little way out of the city and into the Everglades, you could try Buffalo Tigers FL Everglades Airboat Rides. The weather in April is not too hot for a tour and you can look out for a little more movement from the alligators, so it's a good time of year to try it. With the wind caused by the boat's movement, you may even want a sweater!
Olympia Theatre
If you are after a spot of culture, you can try the Olympia Theatre. This theatre has been entertaining residents and visitors since the 1920s, and you can catch a show by heading to their box office for tickets. They show films, music concerts, talks, live productions, and more.
Gesu Catholic Church
Catholics or those who love to admire architecture can swing by the Gesu Catholic Church. This huge and ornate building was erected in 1926 to replace a former wooden church on the same location, and is still a functional church. Visitors can stroll through outside of mass times.
