All about Miami


Miami (Florida), city in Florida. The seat of Miami-Dade County, Miami is the largest city of a metropolitan region that dominates southern Florida.

Miami grew rapidly in the early 20th century because of its resort and recreational opportunities.

Since 1980, however, a more diversified economy has emerged in the city and the surrounding area.

Miami’s population and economy are increasingly international in their orientation; the city’s connections to Latin America are particularly vital.

Miami is located at the southeastern corner of the United States near the tip of the Florida peninsula.

Its climate is marginally tropical, with hot, moist summers and warm, drier winters and an average annual temperature of about 24°C (about 76°F).

The city is situated along the Atlantic Ocean, and its geographic position makes it vulnerable to tropical storms and hurricanes.
