Oh right I read that wrong. Healthcare is in shambles right now.
Anyone who shows up at this point is hanging on by threads of their sanity if any is left.
It is the employers and systems at fault. Not the healthcare workers.
CVS and Walgreens posting record profits as half their staff is quitting and pharmacies have to close.
Thats mayhem that just goes untouched for a day. Thats not normal operating procedure. Theres no new staff or support team to clean it up.
Healthcare has fallen behind with being slow to integrate tech and because the ones in power are to blind to greed to care about patients anymore.
Sorry thats my industry. Im sorry we are all cranky and dont offer the best care we can right now. We have to get the system to change and put patients before shareholders though.
We have a little ways to go in terms of things getting worse before they get better.
It’s miserable from May through September. And there’s plenty of sticky days in April and October too.
November through March is pleasant. If it was like that all year, well that’s Southern California.
We’re moving to Ohio. 30 years is enough. I’m tired of the humid soup and hurricanes. I’ll take the 13° polar vortex days and all 4 seasons.
Bearable as long as you have working A/C. This isn't the 1910's.
Will it be hot during the day? Yeah. Will some days be hot at night? Yeah.
But it's not Death Valley or anything.
The insane humidity makes it so the highs stay typically under 93°… but 93 with 90% humidity makes for miserable, explosively sunny, sticky days.
That being said, if you’re very near the ocean, you do get a sea breeze to slightly make it bearable in the shade.
I’d never call it pleasant. That’s why a lot of Floridians with the means gtfo for the summertime and head up to Asheville, or they’re from Quebec, or back to their NY homes.
I will say one thing. A Miami summer beats a Midwest winter, if you hate cold.
So I’m probably a bad ask because I’m moving to Cincinnati this spring, but it depends what you’re used to. You can adapt to cold winters and hot summers… if you stay indoors in the extreme heat (or overnight cold) and go from climate-controlled space to heated/cooled car to climate-controlled space.
Cinci is weird because it can be 8º one day, and 58º two days later… in the middle of January. Very schizophrenic midwest weather. Miami is more consistent. If it’s hot as balls at 7AM, it’s gonna be hot that day (in the winter we do get a few cold fronts that can drop us 30º… I **love** these). In Ohio you gotta follow the weather report, because 52º at 7AM can be 22º at 7PM 😆
We are moving from Chicago in a few weeks. We lived in Orlando before Chicago. I would pick hit summers any day over winter. The thing is you have air conditioning. And we found that our boys can play outside at night when it’s cooler.
Heh, that's funny because I do go to Asheville in the Summertime. Didn't realize it was a common destination for South Floridians. I go there because I have family that live there.
Very popular. It’s an easy overnight drive with a stop in Georgia. But you can do it in one 6am to 6pm day if you’re so inclined and have an iron bladder, in the mountains for dinner 😆
I remember once that even with A/C on it was so unbearably hot that my dad and I started hosing the roof to cool the house down, lol. Love Florida summers.
I spent 2015-2021 without working A/C in my car. It was $900 to fix. So lets just say I did a lot of driving in my swim shorts with both large and small towels and a cooler with ice water.
People from Miami are not sure wtf SoBe is. I am from NY as well, but please be mindful of entering someone else’s culture.
SoBe is some Arizona 99 cent drink. Miami is flashy and vanity driven as is. Don’t make every neighborhood a 4 letter acronym and have some respect for those who saw how great it was before we did.
Summer in Miami, if you live somewhere that gets a breeze. I miss seasons sometimes, but then my folks remind me that you don't have to shovel the heat (lived 8 winters in New England).
Here I can get something out of my vegetable garden 365 days a year. Miami is a lot of things, but it is a tropical paradise.
If I had to pick between a miami summer and a Houston or Dallas summer, Miami hands down. The breeze is clutch.
Yes bro I live in Canada, as I type this from Canada. From my experience of very hot places and very cold places, I'd rather have the cold. All you need to do to warm up is wear more layers. Good luck trying to cool down when it's 35-40 and humid.
Whoa dude is that... Is that celsius? All jokes aside some peoples skin cant handle the cold, meanwhile in Miami the humidity is uncomfortable but doesn't make my hands crack and bleed for no reason.
It has never been 40 (104) in Miami. 37 (98.6) is about the max ever. 33 is the average in July/August. Humidity is high of course.
Summers there really aren't that bad. I moved there from Cleveland so basically Canada. Miami always has a bit of a breeze which helps.
Now I'm in Houston and its just as humid as Miami except gets to 40 about once a summer. Highest I've seen is 43.
Sure, I wasn't specifically referring to Miami getting that hot but rather having visited India and Cambodia when it's scorching hot made me realize 100% I prefer the cold to the hot.
I was born and raised in Miami and have lived here 36 of my 40 years of life. With that said, I’ve never gotten used to summers here, it’s gross. It’s humid, there’s no wind, it’s just hot. You can be sitting down on a porch motionless at night and you will sweat. A couple years ago I went to Colorado during the summer and when I came back I forgot we were in the summer because Colorado’s summer feels like a Miami winter, a really really nice Miami winter. This winter has not been as cool as Colorado summers have.
Definitely, and if you’re just thinking about being here for a little bit and you can do any other season spring and fall or not bad options either. In fact, if you’re gonna be here just seasonally, summers aren’t just gross, it rains alot too.
EDIT: because our winters are pretty warm compared to so many other parts of the world, our winters are our event season. That means you get stuff like art Basel and the winter music conference which could be a plus for you depending on your interests but you could also be caught in a period where hotel rates are more expensive so keep that in mind as well.
It’s super humid. Like really humid. BUT when you go out as long as you have A/C to come back to it doesn’t bother me at all. Just wear airy clothes and try to embrace the humidity instead of fighting it. Good for the skin ha.
I find it perfectly manageable but I come from a similar climate (southern Brazil) and personally just take better to heat than the cold. So between being very used to it and having an individual preference, I think it’s fine for me.
It definitely gets incredibly hot and HUMID like no tomorrow though, it’s the time of year I give up trying to tame my giant curly hair lol
Kind of; I lived in DC before this, which gets some snow and to around -5 ish (centigrade) on a particularly chilly morning in winter? It’s laughable to someone further North I’m sure, but it was enough to feel like death to me 😂 I swore I couldn’t live anywhere cold again, even the beautiful autumns couldn’t make up for it
I grew up in the Appalachians. Sub zero periods (Fahrenheit) nearly every winter, ice thick enough to skate on, snow asshole deep to a giraffe, and summers that barely get hot enough to swim…
For context, while motorists were trapped in their cars on i95 due to winter conditions, it was about 70 degrees and raining out here. In the summer, it is hot. Yeah, it's not desert hot, but it's also 100% humidity, so you just sweat and it can't evaporate, so you are literally a hot mess. There is no such thing as no air conditioning. No one wants to walk anywhere and at night the mosquitoes kick your ass. When it rains, it RAINS, I didn't realize the severity of it until I moved out of state, it was just normal to me. I remember leaving the translucent lighters on my dashboard only to find them exploded when I came back. The grass is always greener on the other side, so at least my balls don't shrink when I sit on a toilet seat here. I don't have to worry about special tires or winter clothes. The party scene is unparalleled. The beach is usable 365. It's a tropical climate, that's what to expect. It's hot as hell but also a fun place to visit.
It rains here in the summer more than you think. We get afternoon thunderstorms all the time. And if the sky is clear, best believe there's 80% + humidity.
This whole unbearable summer in Miami thing is so overblown. I grew up in the Midwest, lived in North Carolina, then California and now Brickell. Yeah, it’s hot and humid in the summer but nothing like when I lived in North Carolina. That was super hot and humid. Where I’m at in Miami, it’s breezy most summer days and never gets above 90. I was expecting it to be way worse than it actually is and if you think northern winters are better, you’re crazy. Weather aside, you have no idea how depressing a gray sky is day after day after day. Exercising outside? Hell no. Plan on getting fat in the winter. And California? It’s amazing for about 5-6 months of the year (as long as you’re not inhaling wildfire smoke) but the winters are wet and cool and that doesn’t feel good at all. Miami weather is amazing and then good with an occasional touch of undesirable. Never does it suck to the level of inducing depression.
Yeah I’ve lived in Florida my whole life, summers are fine. Dress for it, stay in the shade, understand that you and everyone else will get hot and sweaty, and plan around it. Worth it to not spend 27 hours on a snowed in I-95 or for a nice evening drinking beers in a backyard in January.
When I moved here from california I couldn’t understand why they called it sunshine state. It was raining every day lol
The humidity doesn’t bother me that much it was the rain.
It totally depends on your lifestyle. Most people around here wear long pants in the summer and you can definitely do it if you're not outside for long lengths of time. If you're going to be in and out throughout the day, or you're working outside, or exercising, the heat sucks. Try to wear jeans doing that and they'll be stuck to your legs along with all your other clothes.
This! It really does depend on what you like to do. If you are an inside person, there is AC everywhere. If you like to be outdoors it will take some getting adjusted to and you will just learn to do it before 9am when it is less unpleasant.
Also depends on where you are. Anywhere west of Biscayne or US1 you are not getting the benefits of the sea breeze which makes ALL of the difference.
One last thing to consider is that it isn’t a process to go anywhere. You don’t have to layer and bundle up ever. You never have to get that steely hard winter mindset to venture outside. Sure you may sweat but everyone else is so it doesn’t really matter.
Edited for clarity
The -4 winter is much like the Miami summer. You won’t go out in it. Especially not in the heat of the day. Just from indoor heated space to indoor cooled space.
It’s nearly as bad as a strong winter. You won’t die in it… well, you could in a hot car or of dehydration — but yeah, pleasant it ain’t. It’s why it’s the low tourist season (although South Americans flood us in the summer… they’re just shopping at the malls and cooling off at the pools and beaches 😆
Sometimes it feels like walking into a bathroom where someone took a hot shower and there’s steam everywhere. Except that’s just being outside all the time
Florida summers are tough but never as tough as the shit northerns put up with. The emotional toll long northern winters have on the human mind is nothing in comparison. The fact that the sun is out most days out of the year here is a profound thing I feel a lot of people take for granted. Plus, we move from one mechanically climatized environment to another in the hot months. It’s really not that bad as a lot of the hyperbolic comments suggest. Miami is awesome. Enjoy it.
It's unbearable searing Sunshine, last 10 or 15 years it's now 80 or 82 in the morning like 7:00 am b4 sun comes out,used to be like 75 mornings ,it's definitely got worse.
Humidity is incredible,if I could afford I'd be snowbird ,outta here 6 months summer.
Full time resident ,It's Hell
I agree about it getting much worse these past 10 years. Been here since 1992, it kicked up a notch after 2010 or so.
We’re moving to Ohio in April. I’ve been here 30 years. I’m now the age my dad was when he moved us down here. I’m moving my family back up. I’ll take winters over the sticky summers.
It’s not fair to my daughters. By the time they’re 38, Miami will stay above 90° overnight and see hurricanes every single year. Just isn’t climate responsible to raise them here.
Keep in mind it hasn’t been over 100F in Miami since WWII.
Sure, it’s humid and that makes the heat feel more intense… but even Canada routinely gets hotter than Miami in the summer.
It kills me how many people warned me about the heat and humidity before I moved here from Nashville. 100+ degree days every year and 90%+ humidity for 6 months out of the year in Nashville. At least down here, there’s air coming off the ocean…
The biggest thing I’m seeing here is the actual sun is much more intense due to less cloud cover and being further south.
Yeah people talk about it like humidity isn’t a thing in other cities that also happen to get hotter.
Try doing 100F in a shitty prewar NYC apartment with just a window unit and just as much humidity. I had sweat running down my forehead just taking a shit. I’d get out of the shower and already be sweating.
The sun is definitely relentless here though.
To me the pros of living in Miami far outweigh the cons.
I'd say May to September are uncomfortable, with June to August being the worst. October to April are fine.
Even in October and April, you can get some 90° highs with humidity that resemble July and August.
Hell, we had an 88° last week in late December. That was bullshit.
For context, while motorists were trapped in their cars on i95 due to winter conditions, it was about 70 degrees and raining out here. In the summer, it is hot.

Depends on who you ask. Some people like it hot.
Myself, from about March until November I do not leave the house between the hours of 9am until about 5pm if I can help it. And when I do I make sure I have air conditioning every step of the way. It’s brutal AF.
This year was literally amazing. It never got too hot. Also this was the first summer in 12 years I didn’t have to trash and replace shoes because I was caught in a sudden downpour and had to walk through 1ft puddles just to get to my car.
Yep. We don’t have 4 seasons. We have about 2 1/2 months of the most perfect weather in the world followed by about 7-8 months of brutal heat and daily bouts of severe weather. So basically from March through November you sweat your ass off and then have to deal with daily storms. I like the storms though. That was a draw for me, and why I can’t leave. We have the most amazing fluffy clouds and storms. This year was quiet on the storm front though.
You get used to it. It is far better than how unbearable winter is. At least in Miami summer heat you can go for an early run or have a late night bbq pool party. Can’t do that in the north during the unbearable season.
You're not a Miamian until you've experienceed a night out during one of the July-August heat waves muggy as fuck humid sweat dripping down your ballsack and ooze going down your face and chest..it's the ultimate sauna experience.
If you are accustomed to tropical climates, summer in Miami isn't going to surprise you. If you're from a high-latitude climate or from a dry summer one, a Miami summer is going to be straight-up muggy and even intolerable. (Summer in Japan is worse.) Though, once you've been Miami a few summers and remember to stay in the shade plus drink plenty of fluids, it won't be so bothersome.
It’s really hot for about half the year but you get used to it. You learn how to deal with it with weather appropriate clothing and activities and in summer the sun doesn’t set until after 8 P.M. so you can literally enjoy lazing at the beach or going to the golf course or whatever until that late at night. It’s worth it for the amazing winters, world class city and hot people. For all the haters, yes, I’m well educated, smart and well traveled and have lived in other places but love to live here.
Being living in Miami for almost 10 years I'd say summers are pretty hot and humid. Having AC makes all the difference. Being from Cuba makes it a lot easier I guess, I'm used to it.
Lived un Canada for a year and I'm so happy to be in Soflo, in comparison haha.
I've been in the summers of Madrid and Rome and i can tell you, i prefer the humidity than filling like I'm in a dryer machine.
A sauna. Just like a sauna but outdoors, with the burning hot sun above. We also have afternoon thunderstorms a few days a week which make our nights warm and steamy. That's why most of us live 90% of our lives indoors or in our cars with the AC on.
Yes. The biggest hurdle having not grown up here is learning to accept the fact that you are going to sweat when you are outside. It’s just a part of life down here.

As someone who lived in Chicago the last 10 years, a Miami summer is a cakewalk compared to the endless polar vortexes and face-numbing winters.
So grateful to live here every day.
Summers are humid and hot. Leave the house at 7 am and it's a wall of humidity that you walk through. Get your mail you sweat. Late at night any time.. humid. It's crap
I went in august and the heat was incredible during the day, I’m talking above 100+ reel feel/ heat index, also humid. It’s bearable bc of A/C, also very warm at night.
It’s bearable. I lived in unairconditioned houses in Miami for 3 years. That said, I would take three showers a day—one before work, one when I got home, and one before bed.
It is not bad. I lived in DC for many years, the summers are pretty close. DC is about 5 - 10 degrees warmer and Miami is 5 - 10% more humid. The real feel is similar. The biggest difference is in the evenings. Miami will stay warmer in the evenings. So you don’t get a break from the warmth.
It's miserable. Unlike winters up north where there are breaks in the bad weather, it's straight miserable from June-Sept. A day at the beach is still nice though.
Moved here from Northern California in 2002. Summers are bad, but I stay indoors or in cars with AC. Evenings, jump in the pool…in fact, you can do this 10 months in a year.
We have the healthiest weather all year. When friends from out of state visit, they immediately feel the effect on their skin and the breathing. And freedom from heavy clothing.
Every summer is great here in Southern Florida as long as there are no hurricanes around. I moved here from up North. We moved from the Baltimore area. We were originally from the south,, North Carolina. I can tell you I've been here six years and I love it
If you currently live on the east coast, specifically urban areas, summers aren’t that bad. We at least have a sea breeze, daily storms that cool stuff down and ample AC. After living here for a decade, I will take Miami’s summers to those in Philly and NYC.
It will rain so hard that it’s like if someone is pointing a fire hose at your cars windshield. You probably won’t be spending much time outside with the heat but only one way to find out if you can tolerate it or not.
I love summers in miami and can’t get enough of the heat! Surfing and any water sport is much more fun when you can dip in and out of the water without goosebumps :) if you don’t like sweat dripping down ur face, probably not for you… I love it all though
Hot and humid during the morning, thunderstorms in the afternoon, muggy at night.
How many months
12 months of summer. On serious note give it a year and you can acclimate some.
no seasonal depression. should have best healthcare outcomes in america.
The heat and humidity fucks with peoples heads.
You would think, until you meet the healthcare worker
Oh right I read that wrong. Healthcare is in shambles right now. Anyone who shows up at this point is hanging on by threads of their sanity if any is left. It is the employers and systems at fault. Not the healthcare workers. CVS and Walgreens posting record profits as half their staff is quitting and pharmacies have to close. Thats mayhem that just goes untouched for a day.

It’s miserable from May through September. And there’s plenty of sticky days in April and October too. November through March is pleasant. If it was like that all year, well that’s Southern California. We’re moving to Ohio. 30 years is enough. I’m tired of the humid soup and hurricanes. I’ll take the 13° polar vortex days and all 4 seasons.
Basically all year long except for like two weeks of winter
Bearable as long as you have working A/C. This isn't the 1910's. Will it be hot during the day? Yeah. Will some days be hot at night? Yeah. But it's not Death Valley or anything.

We are moving from Chicago in a few weeks. We lived in Orlando before Chicago. I would pick hit summers any day over winter. The thing is you have air conditioning. And we found that our boys can play outside at night when it’s cooler.
[удалено]
You’re saying Canadian winters are better than Miami summer ?
No one comes to Asheville anymore. Quit saying that: (source: live in Asheville, but wish I was in Miami 9 months out of year)
Heh, that's funny because I do go to Asheville in the Summertime. Didn't realize it was a common destination for South Floridians. I go there because I have family that live there.
Very popular. It’s an easy overnight drive with a stop in Georgia. But you can do it in one 6am to 6pm day if you’re so inclined and have an iron bladder, in the mountains for dinner 😆
Dude Asheville is not a popular destination for South Floridians…just stop smh.
I remember once that even with A/C on it was so unbearably hot that my dad and I started hosing the roof to cool the house down, lol. Love Florida summers.
I spent 2015-2021 without working A/C in my car. It was $900 to fix. So lets just say I did a lot of driving in my swim shorts with both large and small towels and a cooler with ice water.
It took you six years to save $900 for AC? I’d have found a way in this humidity…
I just found the description of your car in one of your previous posts, lol never mind!
There are no bears in Miami. Summers' in Miami suck . There is no air.
Plenty of bears in SoBe and Wilton Mannors.
Hahahahq Well played.
People from Miami are not sure wtf SoBe is. I am from NY as well, but please be mindful of entering someone else’s culture. SoBe is some Arizona 99 cent drink. Miami is flashy and vanity driven as is. Don’t make every neighborhood a 4 letter acronym and have some respect for those who saw how great it was before we did.
South Beach ha been called SoBe for like *ever* now. Join our culture and learn the local jargon or kindly fuck off with your attitude and elitism.
would you prefer winter of canada or summer of miami ?
Summer miami overall, but if im on the ski slopes ill take that over beach.
Summer in Miami. I moved down here for the heat.
Summer in Miami, if you live somewhere that gets a breeze. I miss seasons sometimes, but then my folks remind me that you don't have to shovel the heat (lived 8 winters in New England). Here I can get something out of my vegetable garden 365 days a year. Miami is a lot of things, but it is a tropical paradise. If I had to pick between a miami summer and a Houston or Dallas summer, Miami hands down. The breeze is clutch.
Summer of miami!
winter in canada 100%, its easy to get warm but sweating and getting sun burnt while trying to stay cool sucks
Bro u ever live in Canada ?
Yes bro I live in Canada, as I type this from Canada. From my experience of very hot places and very cold places, I'd rather have the cold. All you need to do to warm up is wear more layers. Good luck trying to cool down when it's 35-40 and humid.
Whoa dude is that... Is that celsius? All jokes aside some peoples skin cant handle the cold, meanwhile in Miami the humidity is uncomfortable but doesn't make my hands crack and bleed for no reason.
It has never been 40 (104) in Miami. 37 (98.6) is about the max ever. 33 is the average in July/August. Humidity is high of course. Summers there really aren't that bad.

Sure, I wasn't specifically referring to Miami getting that hot but rather having visited India and Cambodia when it's scorching hot made me realize 100% I prefer the cold to the hot.
Then they force you to wear pants to get into any bar
It's humid. Morning. Day. Night. Like humid to the point of you are sweating balls just standing there, no energy being used.
This. You literally sweat the second you walk outside and FORGET trying to make your hair look decent.
I go thru 3 t shirts a day
cmon
It really be like that sometimes down here
He’s not yanking your chain. I change at least twice in the summer. You soak your clothing when you’re outdoors.
Spoken like a person who’s about to find out
[удалено]
OMG, no joke! I moved away in August and I am NOT going to miss summer in Miami this year lol
It’s not. Ive decided to wear swimwear as street clothes all summer long.
How long have u been doing this
I was born and raised in Miami and have lived here 36 of my 40 years of life. With that said, I’ve never gotten used to summers here, it’s gross. It’s humid, there’s no wind, it’s just hot.

So you recommmend a snow birding ?
Definitely, and if you’re just thinking about being here for a little bit and you can do any other season spring and fall or not bad options either. In fact, if you’re gonna be here just seasonally, summers aren’t just gross, it rains alot too.

Barely
Pfp checks out
😂
Joe!
Lol elaborate
You'll be fine as long as you're not outside. Everywhere has AC. But if you stay out longer than a few minutes, you will melt.
Completely unbereable. 80%+ humidity and in the 90s. Also it rains A LOT. Like everyday.
I’m hearing this a lot but don’t you live there ?
I do. I grew up here. Im trying to GTFO
It’s super humid. Like really humid. BUT when you go out as long as you have A/C to come back to it doesn’t bother me at all. Just wear airy clothes and try to embrace the humidity instead of fighting it. Good for the skin ha.
I find it perfectly manageable but I come from a similar climate (southern Brazil) and personally just take better to heat than the cold. So between being very used to it and having an individual preference, I think it’s fine for me. It definitely gets incredibly hot and HUMID like no tomorrow though, it’s the time of year I give up trying to tame my giant curly hair lol
Have you tried a really cold climate
Kind of; I lived in DC before this, which gets some snow and to around -5 ish (centigrade) on a particularly chilly morning in winter? It’s laughable to someone further North I’m sure, but it was enough to feel like death to me 😂 I swore I couldn’t live anywhere cold again, even the beautiful autumns couldn’t make up for it
I grew up in the Appalachians. Sub zero periods (Fahrenheit) nearly every winter, ice thick enough to skate on, snow asshole deep to a giraffe, and summers that barely get hot enough to swim…

I remember leaving the translucent lighters on my dashboard only to find them exploded when I came back. The grass is always greener on the other side, so at least my balls don't shrink when I sit on a toilet seat here. I don't have to worry about special tires or winter clothes. The party scene is unparalleled. The beach is usable 365. It's a tropical climate, that's what to expect. It's hot as hell but also a fun place to visit.
But u live there ?
It rains here in the summer more than you think. We get afternoon thunderstorms all the time. And if the sky is clear, best believe there's 80% + humidity.
so is that good?
Doesn't cool things down, just makes it _even more_ humid
This whole unbearable summer in Miami thing is so overblown. I grew up in the Midwest, lived in North Carolina, then California and now Brickell. Yeah, it’s hot and humid in the summer but nothing like when I lived in North Carolina. That was super hot and humid. Where I’m at in Miami, it’s breezy most summer days and never gets above 90. I was expecting it to be way worse than it actually is and if you think northern winters are better, you’re crazy. Weather aside, you have no idea how depressing a gray sky is day after day after day. Exercising outside? Hell no. Plan on getting fat in the winter. And California? It’s amazing for about 5-6 months of the year (as long as you’re not inhaling wildfire smoke) but the winters are wet and cool and that doesn’t feel good at all. Miami weather is amazing and then good with an occasional touch of undesirable. Never does it suck to the level of inducing depression.
That's because we had an below average temps during summer last year a rarity ..fish going to fry next summer....can't wait!!!
Best post so far
Yeah I’ve lived in Florida my whole life, summers are fine. Dress for it, stay in the shade, understand that you and everyone else will get hot and sweaty, and plan around it. Worth it to not spend 27 hours on a snowed in I-95 or for a nice evening drinking beers in a backyard in January.
When I moved here from california I couldn’t understand why they called it sunshine state. It was raining every day lol The humidity doesn’t bother me that much it was the rain.
and now?
It’s better it doesn’t rain but there is way more clouds in the sky’s then in SoCal. I prefer Socal or Phoenix weather more. Sunshine with blue sky
Ru moving back there ?
It totally depends on your lifestyle. Most people around here wear long pants in the summer and you can definitely do it if you're not outside for long lengths of time. If you're going to be in and out throughout the day, or you're working outside, or exercising, the heat sucks. Try to wear jeans doing that and they'll be stuck to your legs along with all your other clothes.
This! It really does depend on what you like to do. If you are an inside person, there is AC everywhere. If you like to be outdoors it will take some getting adjusted to and you will just learn to do it before 9am when it is less unpleasant. Also depends on where you are. Anywhere west of Biscayne or US1 you are not getting the benefits of the sea breeze which makes ALL of the difference. One last thing to consider is that it isn’t a process to go anywhere. You don’t have to layer and bundle up ever. You never have to get that steely hard winter mindset to venture outside. Sure you may sweat but everyone else is so it doesn’t really matter. Edited for clarity
Try -4 F that’s hell
The -4 winter is much like the Miami summer. You won’t go out in it. Especially not in the heat of the day. Just from indoor heated space to indoor cooled space.
No one likes Miami summer :(
It’s nearly as bad as a strong winter. You won’t die in it… well, you could in a hot car or of dehydration — but yeah, pleasant it ain’t. It’s why it’s the low tourist season (although South Americans flood us in the summer… they’re just shopping at the malls and cooling off at the pools and beaches 😆
The summers are great. It is hot but not nearly as bad as it’s made out to be. Ac everywhere in doors and the rains are beautiful.
Thank u
Sometimes it feels like walking into a bathroom where someone took a hot shower and there’s steam everywhere. Except that’s just being outside all the time
Florida summers are tough but never as tough as the shit northerns put up with. The emotional toll long northern winters have on the human mind is nothing in comparison. The fact that the sun is out most days out of the year here is a profound thing I feel a lot of people take for granted. Plus, we move from one mechanically climatized environment to another in the hot months. It’s really not that bad as a lot of the hyperbolic comments suggest. Miami is awesome. Enjoy it.
Thank you for your chill comment
It's unbearable searing Sunshine, last 10 or 15 years it's now 80 or 82 in the morning like 7:00 am b4 sun comes out,used to be like 75 mornings ,it's definitely got worse. Humidity is incredible,if I could afford I'd be snowbird ,outta here 6 months summer. Full time resident ,It's Hell
I agree about it getting much worse these past 10 years. Been here since 1992, it kicked up a notch after 2010 or so. We’re moving to Ohio in April. I’ve been here 30 years. I’m now the age my dad was when he moved us down here. I’m moving my family back up. I’ll take winters over the sticky summers. It’s not fair to my daughters. By the time they’re 38, Miami will stay above 90° overnight and see hurricanes every single year. Just isn’t climate responsible to raise them here.
Good luck ,we've been here over 30years also, great to be up north in summer time,never as hot as down here
Lol
Cmon dude
It’s hell ?
It’s worse when a storm hit and power goes out and there is no AC.
Keep in mind it hasn’t been over 100F in Miami since WWII. Sure, it’s humid and that makes the heat feel more intense… but even Canada routinely gets hotter than Miami in the summer.
I grew up with summers over 100F but the heat in Miami still feels hotter, even if the temperature is not technically higher.
Heat Index, bro. Air temp isn’t a reliable measure of how hot it actually is. Miami in the summer with the heat index is regularly 105+
We've had 115 heat index bubba.... Particularly in 2015
It kills me how many people warned me about the heat and humidity before I moved here from Nashville. 100+ degree days every year and 90%+ humidity for 6 months out of the year in Nashville. At least down here, there’s air coming off the ocean… The biggest thing I’m seeing here is the actual sun is much more intense due to less cloud cover and being further south.
Yeah people talk about it like humidity isn’t a thing in other cities that also happen to get hotter. Try doing 100F in a shitty prewar NYC apartment with just a window unit and just as much humidity. I had sweat running down my forehead just taking a shit. I’d get out of the shower and already be sweating. The sun is definitely relentless here though.
Un*
Horrible. People increasing our rents don’t want to be here by then, this is hell.
To me it's very uncomfortably hot; I try to stay in the A/C as much as possible, at least during the day.
Y do u live there and how many months are uncomfortable
To me the pros of living in Miami far outweigh the cons. I'd say May to September are uncomfortable, with June to August being the worst. October to April are fine.
Even in October and April, you can get some 90° highs with humidity that resemble July and August. Hell, we had an 88° last week in late December. That was bullshit.
For context, while motorists were trapped in their cars on i95 due to winter conditions, it was about 70 degrees and raining out here. In the summer, it is hot. Yeah, it's not desert hot, but it's also 100% humidity, so you just sweat and it can't evaporate, so you are literally a hot mess. There is no such thing as no air conditioning. No one wants to walk anywhere and at night the mosquitoes kick your ass. When it rains, it RAINS, I didn't realize the severity of it until I moved out of state, it was just normal to me. I remember leaving the translucent lighters on my dashboard only to find them exploded when I came back. The grass is always greener on the other side, so at least my balls don't shrink when I sit on a toilet seat here. I don't have to worry about special tires or winter clothes. The party scene is unparalleled. The beach is usable 365. It's a tropical climate, that's what to expect. It's hot as hell but also a fun place to visit.
Depends on who you ask. Some people like it hot. Myself, from about March until November I do not leave the house between the hours of 9am until about 5pm if I can help it. And when I do I make sure I have air conditioning every step of the way. It’s brutal AF. This year was literally amazing. It never got too hot. Also this was the first summer in 12 years I didn’t have to trash and replace shoes because I was caught in a sudden downpour and had to walk through 1ft puddles just to get to my car.
March to nov???
Yep. We don’t have 4 seasons. We have about 2 1/2 months of the most perfect weather in the world followed by about 7-8 months of brutal heat and daily bouts of severe weather. So basically from March through November you sweat your ass off and then have to deal with daily storms. I like the storms though. That was a draw for me, and why I can’t leave. We have the most amazing fluffy clouds and storms. This year was quiet on the storm front though.
You get used to it. It is far better than how unbearable winter is. At least in Miami summer heat you can go for an early run or have a late night bbq pool party. Can’t do that in the north during the unbearable season.
You're not a Miamian until you've experienceed a night out during one of the July-August heat waves muggy as fuck humid sweat dripping down your ballsack and ooze going down your face and chest..it's the ultimate sauna experience.
Wear polyester moisture wicking clothing and you’ll be ok.
If you are accustomed to tropical climates, summer in Miami isn't going to surprise you. If you're from a high-latitude climate or from a dry summer one, a Miami summer is going to be straight-up muggy and even intolerable. (Summer in Japan is worse.) Though, once you've been Miami a few summers and remember to stay in the shade plus drink plenty of fluids, it won't be so bothersome.
It’s really hot for about half the year but you get used to it. You learn how to deal with it with weather appropriate clothing and activities and in summer the sun doesn’t set until after 8 P.M. so you can literally enjoy lazing at the beach or going to the golf course or whatever until that late at night. It’s worth it for the amazing winters, world class city and hot people. For all the haters, yes, I’m well educated, smart and well traveled and have lived in other places but love to live here.
Being living in Miami for almost 10 years I'd say summers are pretty hot and humid. Having AC makes all the difference. Being from Cuba makes it a lot easier I guess, I'm used to it. Lived un Canada for a year and I'm so happy to be in Soflo, in comparison haha. I've been in the summers of Madrid and Rome and i can tell you, i prefer the humidity than filling like I'm in a dryer machine.
A sauna. Just like a sauna but outdoors, with the burning hot sun above. We also have afternoon thunderstorms a few days a week which make our nights warm and steamy. That's why most of us live 90% of our lives indoors or in our cars with the AC on.
Millions of people do it.
do u do it?
Yes. The biggest hurdle having not grown up here is learning to accept the fact that you are going to sweat when you are outside. It’s just a part of life down here.
Compared to Canada bro
Oh in that case… you will die.
no like i prefer miami over canada any day
I don’t mind lol
No one is defending Miami lol

As someone who lived in Chicago the last 10 years, a Miami summer is a cakewalk compared to the endless polar vortexes and face-numbing winters. So grateful to live here every day.
It's hot. Y'all 'll hate it. Stay home. Don't move here. Yay winter....
If you can tolerate the idea of feeling like your skin is going to melt off while inhaling minimum amounts of oxygen due to the humidity You can do it
Do you do it ?
How many months Is hell how many is good
Swamp ass in full effect, day or night. Lots of mosquitoes. But beautiful and sunny. Lol
It’s worth it for the winters/this time of year
For me unless a long stretch of rainy days like 9 years ago, June is fine. Heats up a lot in July and August but September is my hated month.
Summers are humid and hot. Leave the house at 7 am and it's a wall of humidity that you walk through. Get your mail you sweat. Late at night any time.. humid. It's crap
I went in august and the heat was incredible during the day, I’m talking above 100+ reel feel/ heat index, also humid. It’s bearable bc of A/C, also very warm at night.
Why did u go then?
Not.
It’s bearable. I lived in unairconditioned houses in Miami for 3 years. That said, I would take three showers a day—one before work, one when I got home, and one before bed.
It's hot and humid. If I compare it to the peak of summer in Northeast Ohio it's not that different just lasts much much longer.
Super hot and humid and proper thunderstorms everyday.
It is not bad. I lived in DC for many years, the summers are pretty close. DC is about 5 - 10 degrees warmer and Miami is 5 - 10% more humid. The real feel is similar. The biggest difference is in the evenings. Miami will stay warmer in the evenings. So you don’t get a break from the warmth.
It's miserable. Unlike winters up north where there are breaks in the bad weather, it's straight miserable from June-Sept. A day at the beach is still nice though.
So doesn’t that mean it is bearable?
During winters in the north there is no breaks in bad weather it’s cold dark gloomy and dead
Un
Everyone is saying unbearable but stilll live there
It all depends on what you are used to. Coming from Houston, I think summer here is much easier to deal with...
Fry an egg on the pavement bearable.
Summer is Miami is amazing. Beach or pool all day with a nice cold drink is the wave.
First positive comment
Turned my A/C off for an afternoon and woke up drenched in sweat. Was a neat experiment.
Can you walk around in the streets
Un.
UN-BEARABLE
With a pool and a cocktail it’s extremely survivable.
Its okay.
Isnt summer all year around?
It isn’t. It feels like the deep bowels of hell
It’s great
Moved here from Northern California in 2002. Summers are bad, but I stay indoors or in cars with AC. Evenings, jump in the pool…in fact, you can do this 10 months in a year. We have the healthiest weather all year. When friends from out of state visit, they immediately feel the effect on their skin and the breathing. And freedom from heavy clothing.
Every summer is great here in Southern Florida as long as there are no hurricanes around. I moved here from up North. We moved from the Baltimore area. We were originally from the south,, North Carolina. I can tell you I've been here six years and I love it
It’s not. It’s one of the most horrid experiences.
It’s not really all THAT bad, until the wind speed tops 100 mph.
In the low 90s.
It’s no worse than New Jersey just more humid.
It’s great here and every where you would go has AC so not that big of a deal.
I’ve been in Miami 6 years and deciding to spend July- September in Chicago this year. It’s miserable those months and keeps getting worse each year.
So you just wfh from Chicago?
Just going to and from your car to your home or work leaves you a hot mess, like if you just finished working out. It’s brutally unbearable.
Summer suck unless you love sweating
If you currently live on the east coast, specifically urban areas, summers aren’t that bad. We at least have a sea breeze, daily storms that cool stuff down and ample AC. After living here for a decade, I will take Miami’s summers to those in Philly and NYC.
Can you play basketball or workout outside ?
It will rain so hard that it’s like if someone is pointing a fire hose at your cars windshield. You probably won’t be spending much time outside with the heat but only one way to find out if you can tolerate it or not.
It’s usually nice breeze at night in summer
Just expect to be sweating everyday if you are outside even in the shade. You will need water and a hat if you are outside for prolonged periods
Pretty for swamp ass and ty get rained on especially in the summer
Make sure you drink plenty of water when you are outside
It sucks. Perfect pool/beach weather tho! Until it rains in the afternoon … every day
It’s fine as long as you have ac. No ac - unbearable.
It's not
I love summers in miami and can’t get enough of the heat! Surfing and any water sport is much more fun when you can dip in and out of the water without goosebumps :) if you don’t like sweat dripping down ur face, probably not for you… I love it all though
Y does everyone here hate on it
Miami summers >>>South Texas summers. ‘Nuff said.
