 The most likely time for Miami to be hit is during the peak of the Cape Verde season which is mid-August through the end of September.Due to its location between two major bodies of water known for tropical activity, Miami is also statistically the most likely major city in the world to be struck by a hurricane, trailed closely by Nassau, Bahamas, and Havana, Cuba.Despite this, the city has been fortunate in not having a direct hit by a hurricane since Hurricane Cleo in 1964.
