+Warm, relatively dry conditions make February one of Miami's most attractive months.

–Major events increase demand and pricing.

Great for weather and atmosphere if you don't mind paying more.

Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
