What's the Weather like in Miami in September
Temperature
September is a great month for holiday weather in Miami. This is one of the hottest months of the year, with average daily temperatures reaching as much as 31°C at their highest. The lowest average temperature of the day is 24°C, with an overall average daily temperature of 28°C meaning it is always hot, all day long.
Sunshine
All of this comes in just 9 hours of sunshine a day, as the nights start to draw in and the days get shorter.
Sea Temperature
This still keeps the temperatures high, however, with the sea being warmed during those 9 hours to an average temperature of 29°C. Compared with nearby Fort Lauderdale, the temperatures are going to be slightly lower but when there's a single degree of difference, in this heat, you most likely won't be able to tell.
Rain
The weather forecast will tell you how much sunscreen you need to wear every day, but more importantly, it will tell you how much rain to expect. Out of the 30 days in this month you can expect 18 of them more than half to be rainy. An incredible 203mm of rain will fall during those days - and this is not even the wettest month in Florida!
Humidity
Humidity will be high this month as the hot weather and the rainfall combine to bring warm moisture into the air. You may well find yourself sweating even if you are just sitting down, as the climate can be fairly fierce here.
It's also prime hurricane season, which makes it very important that you know the procedures put in place at your hotel or accommodation in case something comes your way. Keep an eye on weather warnings before and during your trip they may cause delays with your flight if things start to get extreme. Forewarned is forearmed, so do check up on this regularly.
Hotels for Miami in September
Mutiny Hotel
If you like your home comforts, then the Mutiny Hotel could be a good option for you. Here you will stay in suites that are kitted out like a luxury apartment, giving you access to a living area and kitchen. You will also get gorgeous views over Biscayne Bay which glimmers in the September sun.
Conrad
Business travellers will love the Conrad. It's a little further away from the tourist hotspots, which means it is quieter and better for meetings. It still offers full-scale luxury however, and great views out over the city.
