08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
April stays warm and mostly dry, with afternoons around 28 °C, Easter and the tail of spring break in the first half, then a noticeable drop in crowds. The Miami Film Festival runs early in the month, and the Miami Beach Pride parade falls in April. Late April is one of the best-value windows, with summer-like beach weather before the humidity arrives and sea temperatures around 26 °C.
Rain falls on about six days, increasing toward month-end. Hotel rates drop sharply after Easter. The first sargassum seaweed can reach Atlantic beaches in April, though Miami is less affected than the Caribbean. Everglades mosquitoes return with the first rains. Daylight passes thirteen hours. For the same weather with the Formula 1 surcharge, see May; for the lowest prices with the beach still pleasant, the last ten days of April are hard to beat.
