About Miami International Airport

Miami experiences afternoon thunderstorms year-round and hurricane season exposure (June-November). Generally smooth between weather events.

Is Miami Airport turbulent?

Miami sits in prime hurricane territory and also experiences near-daily summer thunderstorms. The warm, moist air from the Gulf Stream fuels convective activity almost every afternoon from May through October. Hurricane season runs June through November, with the peak risk in August and September. Winter offers the most reliable flying weather with cool, dry conditions.

The FAA closes the tower when sustained winds reach 55 mph

How do hurricanes affect Miami flights?

When a hurricane threatens, airlines cancel flights proactively 1-2 days before impact. The FAA only closes the control tower when sustained winds reach 55 mph. MIA typically remains open until conditions become unsafe, then closes for 12-24 hours during passage. Recovery can take several days as airlines reposition aircraft and crews.

When is the best time to fly from Miami?

November through April is the dry season with minimal storm activity and pleasant temperatures. Summer afternoon thunderstorms make morning departures more reliable. Peak hurricane season (August-September) carries the highest disruption risk. If traveling during hurricane season, book flexible tickets and monitor forecasts.

Is turbulence at Miami dangerous?

No. Modern aircraft are designed to withstand forces far stronger than turbulence. While bumps can feel uncomfortable, they do not pose a safety risk. Pilots actively avoid rough air whenever possible. Learn more about turbulence

Best seats to reduce turbulence when flying from Miami?

Seats near the wings feel the least movement because they are closest to the aircraft's center of gravity. Seats at the back of the aircraft feel turbulence more strongly. Learn more about seat selection
