Christmas is around the corner and it's time to plan what you'll do (and wear) over the big holiday in Miami. Have you peeped the weather forecast lately? We've been watching the updates to help you make the most of this Christmas.

Though we've had a week of warmer temps, higher humidity and scattered showers, things should clear up and cool down over the weekend, with predicted lows in the 50s. By mid-week, it looks like we’re in for a beautiful and mild Christmas Day, with Accuweather describing the outlook on December 25, 2024 as “sunshine and a few clouds.”

What will Miami's Christmas Day weather be like? 

The topline forecast for the big day is dominated by one word: lovely.

According to Accuweather, temperatures in Miami on Christmas Day are expected to sit at around 70°F, with a high temperature of 75°F and a low of 68°F.

At this point, the forecast for December 25 is looking relatively consistent across the city, with similar predictions for Miami Beach. Expect about 25% cloud cover throughout the day.

Is it going to rain on Christmas Day?

Presently, rain in Miami on Christmas Day is looking somewhat unlikely, with Accuweather predicting 0.00 inches of precipitation throughout the day. Other outlets, like The Weather Channel, show a 16% chance of rain in the day and a 24% in the evening. You might encounter a sprinkle or two, but the chances of a Miami thunderstorm on Christmas Day seem pretty low right now.

What will the weather in Miami be like on Christmas Eve?

Christmas Eve in Miami is looking like a similarly mild day, with a slightly lower maximum temperature of 74°F in the daytime, a low of 69°F and a 25% chance of precipitation in the evening.

What will the weather in Miami be like on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day?

Though we're still quite a ways out from New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, current predictions are estimating temps in the low to mid-70s in the day and mid-60s at night on both days. At the moment, Accuweather's prediction calls for a nearly 60% chance of rain on New Year's Eve (a "passing shower in the afternoon"), though things look to dry up by New Year's Day, which shows just a 10% chance of rain.
