Miami Beach in December: Weather, Events and Planning

December temperatures in Miami Beach have a long-term normal mean of 70.3°F, with a normal daily maximum of 76.1°F and minimum of 64.6°F. These climate normals describe averages, not a forecast for any particular day.

The normal December precipitation is 2.25 inches. That figure is a monthly average, so it does not tell you whether rain will fall during your visit. Check a current forecast closer to your travel dates when deciding what to pack.

Event schedules in Miami Beach can vary, so check the organizer’s official information for dates, hours, venue details and entry requirements before making plans. Art Basel Miami Beach is associated with the Miami Beach Convention Center, but confirm the details for the edition you are considering rather than relying on a past schedule.

Ticket availability and access rules can differ by event. If you have a particular event in mind, verify those details directly with its organizer before arranging your day around it.

Miami Beach public transport is one subject to look into when planning how to move around the area. The options and routes that suit your plans depend on where you are going; the guide to Miami Beach public transport covers that topic in more detail.

If you are grouping stops into a day, map their locations and check travel details before setting out.

A one-day Miami Beach route from the waterfront to Lincoln Road offers a route-focused way to plan a visit.

Before you go, check the official site for any event you plan to attend and review current travel and weather information. Event schedules, admission requirements and forecasts are more useful when checked close to your dates.

NOAA’s December climate normals for the Miami Beach weather station use the 1991–2020 period. Use them as a broad seasonal reference, then check the forecast for your actual travel dates.
