Learn MoreMiami Weather/Climate April is a great time to visit Miami as the weather starts to warm up and the city experiences plenty of sunshine. It is considered the end of the dry season, which means you can expect less rainfall compared to the summer months. However, there is still a chance of occasional showers, so it’s advisable to pack a light rain jacket or umbrella. The average daily temperature in Miami during April ranges from around 21°C (70°F) to 27°C (81°F). This makes it a pleasant time to enjoy outdoor activities such as sunbathing on the beautiful Miami beaches or exploring the city’s vibrant neighborhoods. The evenings are generally mild, with temperatures dropping to around 19°C (66°F), so you may want to bring a light sweater or jacket for cooler nights. Schedule & CPEEarn up to 16 hours of CPE while attending keynote sessions and concurrent sessions on current topics relevant to higher education. The full schedule is available on the Annual Meeting website and the SACUBO Events App. Be sure to plan your days accordingly. Please review the CPE instructions to prepare yourself on checking in and out of sessions during the event. View ScheduleView CPE InstructionsView CPE Video Tutorial
