Introduction To Miami

MIAMI WEATHER IN FEBRUARY

February is late winter in the Miami area. The average daily high temperature is 24 °C (76 °F) and the average daily low temperature is 16 °C (60 °F). The monthly average rainfall is 2.0 in., so be prepared for the occasional spring rain shower.

GETTING AROUND MIAMI BEACH

Yes, there is public transit, but to go to most places will require a taxi or car.

If you do not wish to rent an automobile, there are several economic methods of public transportation available throughout Greater Miami and the Beaches. Metrorail is a 21-mile elevated rail system that serves Downtown Miami and extends west to Hialeah and south to Kendall, with stops approximately every mile. Metromover features individual motorized cars that run atop a 4.4-mile elevated track looping around Downtown Miami and to the Brickell and Omni business districts. Metrobus offers more than 60 routes in Miami-Dade County. Tri-Rail is a commuter rail system with 15 stations throughout Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
