Miami Humidity and Nightlife

Humidity and nightlife, that’s what Miami is known for. The early morning fog that covers the city is burned off by the sunlight and later the city is entrenched with humidity. After an afternoon rain shower and a bite at your favorite tapas joint, it’s time for everyone’s favorite part of the evening – nighttime.

Miami Day vs Night

Miami, much like Vegas, seems like two different cities during the day and night. It has so much beauty during the day with the clear blue Atlantic ocean, white sand beaches and tall green palm trees. But during the night the neon lights and cool ocean breeze increase your endorphins and encourage you to dance the night away while sipping on a margarita with local tequila and fresh-squeezed lime.
