Sizzling Summer: How Hot Is Miami Right Now?
Miami is famous for its tropical climate, but July 2025 is turning out to be especially hot and humid. Daytime temperatures are regularly reaching 31°C (about 88°F), with some days climbing even higher to 32°C or 33°C. At night, it doesn’t cool off much—temperatures usually stay around 25°C (77°F), so the heat sticks around after sunset.
The humidity is very high, making it feel even warmer than the thermometer shows. On some afternoons, the “feels like” temperature can go above 36°C (97°F). Locals and tourists are advised to stay hydrated and take breaks indoors or in the shade.
Sunshine and Rain: A Typical Miami Mix
July in Miami is known for its long, sunny days, with an average of 10 hours of sunshine daily. But don’t forget your umbrella—rain is frequent, with about 16 days of rainfall expected this month. Sudden thunderstorms are common, especially in the afternoons, and they can be heavy but usually pass quickly.
This year, weather experts are also watching for tropical storms. The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts a higher chance of tropical activity in mid-July, so residents should keep an eye on storm updates just in case.
Sea, Sand, and Safety
If you’re heading to the beach, the sea temperature is a warm 29°C (84°F), perfect for swimming or water sports. However, the UV index is extreme—up to 11—so sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are a must.
