With 6,158,824 residents in 2017, the Miami metropolitan area is the most populous in Florida and the second largest in the southeastern United States.
The metropolitan area is defined by the Office of Management and Budget as Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL (MSA), which consists of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County, a metropolitan statistical region used for statistical purposes by the US Census Bureau and other agencies.

This includes four additional districts of Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee.

Harbor
The metropolitan city also has four seaports, the largest and most important being the Port of Miami. Other nearby areas include Port Everglades, Port of Palm Beach, and the Port of Miami River. On August 21, 2012, PortMiami and the US Army Engineer Corps signed a construction agreement Partnership Agreement (PPA) that will allow Deep Dredge project out to bid. Deep Dredge will deepen existing Port channels up to minus 50/52 feet to prepare for the expansion of the Panama Canal, now scheduled for completion by early 2015. Deeper PortMiami channels will provide ships with efficient, reliable, and safe economic routes to the Port. PortMiami will be the only US Port in southern Norfolk, Virginia is at a depth of minus 50 feet in tune with the opening of an expanded Canal. Deep Dredge is expected to create more than 30,000 direct, indirect and induction jobs in Florida and allow Ports to fulfill their goal of doubling cargo traffic over the next decade.
Public transport
Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) is Florida's largest public transport agency, operates rapid transit, people-driven, and intercity bus systems. Metrorail is the only fast transit in Florida, currently with 23 stations on track 24.4 miles (39.3 km). The Miami city center, Metromover, operates 20 stations and three lanes on a 4.1 kilometer (7.1 km) road through the downtown Omni, Downtown Downtown and Brickell districts. Metrobus serves the whole of Miami-Dade County, also serves Monroe County as far south as Marathon, and Broward County as far north as downtown Fort Lauderdale. In Broward County, Broward County Transit operates public buses, as does Palm Tran in Palm Beach County. In addition, the Southern Florida Transport Authority operates Tri-Rail, a commuter railway connecting three major South Florida cities (Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach), and most of the midpoint.
Climate
South Florida has a tropical climate, the only major metropolitan area in the 48 contiguous states that fall into that category. More specifically, it generally has a tropical monsoon climate (climatic classification KÃÆ'¶ppen, Am ). The metropolitan city of South Florida sees most of the rain in the summer (rainy season) and is quite dry in winter (dry season). The rainy, hot and humid season, lasts from May to October, when daily thunderstorms and past the tropical lows bring heavy rain during the afternoon. The dry season often begins in late October and lasts until the end of April. During the peak of the dry season from February to April, southern Florida is often very dry, and frequent fires and water restrictions are a problem. Sometimes cold fronts can make all the way down to southern Florida and provide some simple rainfall in the dry season. The storm season mostly coincides with the rainy season.
In addition to the sea level elevation, location and coastal position just above the Tropic of Cancer, this area owes a warm, humid climate to the Gulf Stream, which becomes moderate throughout the climate year. A typical summer day does not see temperatures below 75 Â ° F (24 Â ° C). Temperatures in the high 80s up to the 90s (30-35 Â ° C) accompanied by high humidity are often released by afternoon thunderstorms or sea breezes that flourish from the Atlantic Ocean, which then allow for lower temperatures, although the conditions are still very moist. During the winter, dry air often dominates because the dew point is often very low. The highest daily average in South Florida in winter is around 75 - 77 F, although daily highs in low and even mid 80s are not uncommon. Minimum temperatures during the winter are generally in the mid-50s to about 60 ° F (10-15 ° C), sometimes into the 40s (7-9 ° C) and rarely below 40 ° F (5 Ã, Â ° C). The average coast of South Florida is free of frost, although there may be some ice fields every decade.
The storm season officially runs from June 1 to November 30, although hurricanes can expand beyond that period. The most likely time for South Florida to be hit is during the peak of the Cape Verde season, mid-August to late September. Due to its location between two major water bodies known for its tropical activities, South Florida is also statistically the most likely region for the world's cyclone, trailed by Nassau, Bahamas and Havana, Cuba. Many hurricanes have affected the metropolis, including Betsy in 1965, Andrew in 1992, Irene in 1999, Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma in 2005, and Irma in 2017. In addition, the tropical depression in October 2000 passed through the city, causing record rainfall and floods. Locally, the storm is credited as the No Name Storm of 2000, although the depression then becomes Tropical Storm Leslie after entering the Atlantic Ocean.

Each municipality has its own city, town or village government, although there is no difference between the 3 names. Much of the land in a metropolitan city is not connected, which means it does not belong to any municipality, and is therefore directly governed by the area where it belongs.
