If you’ve considered getting away from it all this November, Miami might be just the place for you to run to: Between the balmy temperatures, low crowds, and lower prices than you’ll find in the winter, this tropical vacation destination has it all. Here are some things to consider if you’re hoping to visit The Magic City this fall:
Lovely Weather (if you like it warm)
While Miami is stifling hot during the summer and early fall, November brings a reprieve from the heat and humidity. Also, although hurricane season doesn’t officially end until the end of the month, the chances of getting hit with a storm this time of year are fairly low. The daily afternoon rains have stopped, for the most part. Daytime highs are usually around 80 degrees, and nighttime temps fall to a still-balmy 66 degrees or so.
Less Crowded
While the snowbird crowd has been trickling in, the winter tourists won’t be here for at least a few more weeks. Because it is the tail-end of hurricane season, some hotels are still offering special deals. Prices will vary on hotels depending on the hotel area you choose. For instance hotels in South Beach will be pricier than downtown Miami. Considering a Florida Vacation Package then we can help.
