South Florida has a tropical climate, according to the Köppen climate classification, with a hot and wet season in summer, and a warm, dry season in winter.
The climate of Miami is classified as having a tropical monsoon climate with hot and humid summers; short, warm winters; and a marked drier season in the winter. Its sea-level elevation, coastal location, position just above the Tropic of Cancer, and proximity to the Gulf Stream shape its climate.
With January averaging 69.2 °F (20.7 °C), winter features warm temperatures; cool air usually settles after the passage of a cold front, which produces much of the little amount of rainfall. Lows sometimes fall to or below 50 °F (10 °C), with an average 3 such occurrences annually,[1] but rarely 40 °F (4 °C); from 1981...

Occasionally, they can be severe with damaging straight line winds and large hail. Tornadoes and waterspouts sometimes occur, althoug...
During El Niño events, Miami becomes cooler than normal during the dry season with above average precipitation. During La Niña, Miami becomes warmer and drier than normal.
While the climate for much Florida is humid subtropical, South Florida qualifies as one of several tropical classifications (Köppen Aw, As, Am, or Af). Southeastern Florida falls into USDA zone 10b to 11b for plant hardiness,[12] where annual extreme low temperatures range from 30 to 40 °F (−1 to 4 °C), versus zone 9 i...
