08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
February is dry, sunny and reliably warm, with afternoons around 25 °C, the heart of the winter season. The Boat Show and the Coconut Grove Arts Festival fill Presidents' Day weekend, and the South Beach Wine and Food Festival in the last week brings celebrity chefs and the year's highest restaurant prices. Hotel rates stay high. It is the month with the least chance of rain, about five days, and the best for beach days without summer humidity.
Sea temperatures hover around 24 °C. Spring break begins for some colleges in the final week, with the first crowds arriving on South Beach. Everglades day trips are at their best in the dry season, with wildlife concentrated around the remaining water and the mosquitoes at their fewest. Daylight passes eleven and a half hours by month-end. March brings spring break in full force; see March.
