Wet season (May–November) is hot, humid, and prone to heavy afternoon downpours; thunderstorms can cause short ground delays.

Hurricane season runs June through November, peaking in September–October. Major storms (e.g., Wilma 2005, Zeta 2020) can close the airport for 12–48 hours. Monitor forecasts carefully from August through October. September is statistically the highest-risk month.
