Tips when traveling
Best time to visit
To enjoy Fort Lauderdale’s beaches in ideal sunny weather, planning your visit between November and April is recommended. For a more exclusive and budget-friendly escape, the wet season from May to October is best.
Climate
Fort Lauderdale’s dry season, November through April, offers perfect outdoor weather (60s-70s °F). The wet season, May through October, brings higher temperatures and an occasional afternoon rain followed by sunshine.
Events
Fort Lauderdale has fun events all year, like the Boat Show, Food and Wine Festival, Air Show, Boat Parade, Music Festivals, and more. Enjoy the city's lively culture and coastal charm!
Recommendations
As Fort Lauderdale's tropical climate ensures sunny beach days and occasional rainy afternoons, packing a swimsuit, enough sunscreen, and a light jacket or raincoat is highly recommended.
