Rainfall
Miami's rainy season. Afternoon thunderstorms occur almost daily, often intense and brief. Humidity makes temperatures feel much hotter.
Plan for

Miami in June-July is hot and very humid. The real-feel temperature can reach 100-105 F (38-41 C) in the afternoon. Hard Rock Stadium has shade on upper tiers but lower seats in the open can be brutal for daytime matches. Stay in the shade as much as possible, drink water continuously, and plan to arrive via the free shuttle from an air-conditioned Metrorail station.
