67°F
Magdalen Islands weekend high
If I were leaving Miami Friday afternoon, I'd look at Magdalen Islands (67°F) first.
The question
Where should I go to escape the heat in Miami this weekend?
Versus home
Home-area weekend high sits near 89°F. Here’s how the shortlist compares:
| Place | Weekend high | vs home |

Weather watch
When walking outside already feels like a chore, look for destinations with a real cool-down — not just “nice weather” marketing.
