Kanelbulle Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 We`re going on our first cruise ever in February and also it will be my first time in the US. We`re from Sweden so the weather here is cold in feb but what is it like in Miami, is it shorts and t-shirt kind of weather or is it sweater and jeans kind of weather? I realize that it varies but on avarage what would you say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerette Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I live in Palm Bay which is about 4 hours north of Miami and in February the weather is cold but not as cold as the countries that are close to the northern lights. I would pack jeans and sweaters for your stay in Miami, but also pack a few T-shirt’s and shorts because most cruises from Any port in Florida (including Miami, Port Canaveral, Fort Lauderdale, Port of Jacksonville, & Port of Miami) goes to any port in the Caribbean (Including any countries in the Eastern, Western, & Southern Caribbean) and Hawaii and any country that is South of the equator. The Caribbean ports and Hawaii are warmer than any place in the continental United States, Alaska & Canada in December-MidMarch and also the counties who have Winter when North America is in springtime.

Mel Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 We have cruised from Florida in February (end of the month) twice now and weather was more warmer than regular summer in Batlic Sea area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendylee Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I lived in Fort Myers Beach north of Miami. It can be a crapshoot for weather......it can be anywhere from the 40s to the 70s, maybe more midrange of the two temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordell1 Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Miami is in the FAR south of Florida. Watch the weather before you go but you should expect summer weather in Miami. It is very rare for a cold front to get that far down into Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrh2016 Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 We cruise from Miami almost every year in February (couple from San Juan). It is almost always in the 70's and sunny. Perfect! packercruising 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to mention that for Floridians, "cold" is anything less than a 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

JasonL Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 My usual cruise time of year is February. I live in Washington state and I like to escape the wet cold winter here. Coming from a cold winter climate, the weather is going to feel perfect. Being used to the cold I usually do shorts and t-shirt, but it is wise to bring a pair of pants and a light sweatshirt/jacket just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packercruising Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Being from N. WI, I consider it hot. Probably somewhere in between all these response as the opinions are largely based on where they live. Ogilthorpe and teddy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanelbulle Posted December 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Around the 70`s sounds good enough for me, a really good Swedish summer is around 77-86 degrees Fahrenheit, in the winter and especially February it can go as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit so coming to Miami will feel nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScooterScott22 Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Since the OP is from Sweden... ...Being from Florida and having sailed the coast of Norway I would be tempted to say Miami in February is similar to Norway in July. I won’t because Miami is probably consistently warmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfsu21 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Endless Summer down here. I would expect 70’s. If anything, I would prepare more for rain then anything resembling that thing you Northerners call cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCVoyager Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 I'm warm natured. I would plan on shorts, tshirts, and flip flops. My wife is cold natured. She would plan on jeans and something with sleeves... possibly layers she can remove. Someone else mentioned if you are out after sunset, for an hour or so, it can get cool pretty quickly.
