Miami heat is no joke. Start hydrating hours before you head to the fan zone.
Afternoon thunderstorms (3-5 PM) are almost guaranteed June-July. They pass quickly - find shelter and wait it out.
Spanish is widely spoken in Miami. Don't be surprised if vendors default to Spanish first.
The Metromover is free and gets you to the fan zone without traffic. Use it.
Night matches are the best - the bay breeze cools things down and the skyline lights up.
