Best Time to Visit

Fort Lauderdale comes alive during winter, from December to mid-spring, when temperatures are at their warmest and snowbirds flock south to escape cold winters. Weather can be unpredictable during the summer and fall months (June-November), which are also when the risk of hurricanes is at its highest.
