From June to November, brief squalls and fast‑moving cells can turn Biscayne Bay blue skies into glare and spray in minutes. Secure your car rental at MIA, preload alternate routes, and keep a flexible schedule. Hola Car Rentals helps you pivot with All‑Inclusive+ coverage, Free Cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, and transparent pricing.
When the forecast shifts
Plan an A/B/C routing model. If causeways show lightning on radar, start inland errands on the Dolphin (SR‑836) or Palmetto (SR‑826) and wait for a clearing. When the coastal band moves through, glide to the beach via Julia Tuttle or MacArthur and watch for ponding in right lanes.
Fuel, power and visibility
Top off before long bridges and keep a charged power bank. Use headlights in heavy rain, ease off cruise control, and lengthen following distance. After downpours, expect slower ramps and slick paint lines near merges.
Flexible pickups and returns
Staying in Broward or cruising from Port Everglades? Compare Fort Lauderdale Airport pickup to shorten the last drive. If your final night is in Brickell or Wynwood, a quick switch to a downtown Miami option can make the return day effortless.
