I live in Miami Beach, and it’s always hot or warm. We don’t get cold weather, but in Janurary or February there are some days where in the morning it gets chilly.
I was wondering, Is Southern California similar to South Florida? What city is like Miami (in terms of weather)?
Thanks.
Southern California is much drier than Florida. It’s a desert heat that stays below 50% humidity for the most part. And, during particularly dry spells, it can get down to below 10% humidity. The Southern California climate is described as being Mediterranean, like Spain or Italy. But, the Florida climate is tropical, like the Caribbean. There’s also a wide variety of microclimates in Southern California, whether it’s a coastal climate near the ocean, a desert climate inland, a mountainous climate in the local mountains, etc. Florida is flat and pretty much the same across the whole state, although South Florida around Miami is very tropical.
