Frost dates in Miami, Florida

Frost is rare

At Miami WSO City, NOAA puts the chance of any 32°F night in a year at 0%.

Source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020, station Miami WSO City (USW00012859), 6.2 miles from Miami, elevation 15 ft. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. These are long-term averages, not a forecast.

This station is also the nearest one for Coral Gables, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest and South Miami, so their frost dates are the same as Miami's.

What to plant now in Miami

USDA's planting table covers places whose average last freeze is between January 30 and June 10, and whose first freeze is between August 30 and December 20. Miami's frost dates fall outside it (frost is rare here), so we don't give planting dates for it.

Planting dates: USDA Home and Garden Bulletin No. 9 (1967), “Suburban and Farm Vegetable Gardens,” tables 4 and 5. How we match the table.
