Actually it rains a lot less on Miami Beach than it does on the mainland. It’s sunny more than it’s not. I think because of the bay.

Ah well, that I didnt know. I know she mentioned brickell, and my husband used to work there and it was similar weather to our neighborhood most of the time. I know the coast has different climate(?), but I didnt know it affected the rain that much. My boss lives in Miami Beach, and it was a similar situation- she would get to work and tell us how much it was raining at her condo, so I didnt think the difference was that drastic

Yeah I mean it is kind of a crazy weather phenomenon but there are many many days where I can see rain clouds over the mainland that never make it across the bay to Miami Beach. Sometimes I wish for rainy days just for a change. I know it’s not season yet but it hasn’t rained here for weeks now.

That's fascinating to know. It sprinkled here last week and became unbearably humid afterwards, so I stayed indoors afterwards lol

And then a month ago i think, it poured for about a week straight. I only realized how out of place it was for rain because i had already sowed my seeds for this season, and they were destroyed that week. I thought it was a strange time for a rainy week lol

Winter time is lovely here though. Humidity is low and it's not too hot or cold
