Miami's explosive population growth in recent years been driven by internal migration from other parts of the country as well as by immigration. Greater Miami is regarded as a cultural melting pot, heavily influenced both by its very large population of ethnic Latin Americans and Caribbean islanders.The region's importance as an international financial and cultural center has elevated Miami to the status of world city; because of its cultural and linguistic ties to North, South, Central America, and the Caribbean it is sometimes called "the capital of the Americas."

- ClimateMiami, and the rest of extreme southern Florida has a humid subtropical climate, very close to being a true tropical climate. The major impacting force on the weather of the Miami area is the Gulf Stream, a warm flow just off the Atlantic coast of southeast Florida which moderates the climate year round. In the summer, the day starts out being warmer than the rest of Florida - it has only been below 70 °F in the summer a few times in Miami. As the day progresses, ocean breezes and thunderstorms cool the air, and Miami tends to not have as high of a high temperature as the rest of the state in the summer. In July, lows average around 77 °F and highs average around 91 °F. Officially. In the winter, the Gulf Stream keeps the Arctic air masses, which sometimes affect further north in Florida, from making a big impact. In January, lows average around 60 °F and highs average around 76 °F.
Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, although the most likely time for Florida to be hit is during the peak of the Cape Verde season which is late August through the end of September.

Economy
The nightclub district at Ocean Drive, in the South Beach district of Miami
BeachBecause of its proximity to Latin America, Miami serves as the headquarters
of Latin American operations for many multinational corporations, including
Alienware, American Airlines, Cisco, Disney, Exxon, FedEx, Microsoft, Oracle,
SBC Communications and Sony. Several large companies are headquartered in or
around Miami, including Burger King, DHL, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Ryder
System. Miami International Airport and the Port of Miami are among the nation's
busiest ports of entry, especially for cargo from South America and the
Caribbean. Additionally, downtown Miami has the largest concentration of
international banks in the country. Miami was also the host city of the 2003
Free Trade Area of the Americas negotiations, and is one of the leading
candidates to become the trading bloc's headquarters.
Tourism is also an important industry: the beaches of Greater Miami draw visitors from across the country and around the world, and the Art Deco nightclub district in South Beach (located in Miami Beach) is widely regarded as one of the most glamourous in the world. It is important to note however, that Miami Beach is not a part of the city of Miami. Even major TV networks sometimes forget this, as when Good Morning America visited Miami Beach and Charles Gibson thanked the mayor of Miami (but he was standing next to the mayor of Miami Beach).
In addition to these roles, Miami is also an industrial center, especially for stone quarrying and warehousing.
As of 2005, the Miami area is witnessing its largest real estate boom since the 1920s.

Transportation
Southbound Metrorail train at Coconut Grove station.Miami's main international
hub is Miami International Airport, which is one of the busiest international
airports in the world, serving over 35 million passengers every year.
Idenitified as MIA or KMIA by various world aviation authorities, it is a major
hub and the single largest international gateway for American Airlines, the
world's largest passenger air carrier; and is also served by many foreign
airlines. MIA is the USA's third largest international port of entry for foreign
air passengers (behind New York's JFK and Los Angeles' LAX), and the seventh
largest such gateway in the world (luxury ed only by those two airports; combined
with London's Heathrow, Paris' Charles de Gaulle, Amsterdam's Schiphol, and Hong
Kong's Chek Lap Kok international airports). Fort Lauderdale International
Airport (FLL/KFLL) also serves the metropolitan area, and actually handles more
total passengers who are originating or ending their trip in south Florida than
does MIA.
The main seaport, The Port of Miami, is the largest cruise ship port in the world, serving over 18 million passengers per year. Additionally, the port is one of the nation's busiest cargo ports, importing nearly ten million tons of cargo annually.
Miami is connected to Amtrak's Atlantic Coast services.
Local public transportation includes Metrobus and Metrorail, a metro rapid transit system (both operated by Miami-Dade Transit). Furthermore, Tri-Rail, a commuter rail system, connects the major cities and airports of the South Florida metropolitan area. Several transit expansion projects are being funded by a transit development sales tax surcharge throughout Miami-Dade County.
