    It's an awful time to be in florida - 35c and 100% humidity everyday, a long with daily storms. It is technically the low season there due to the heat and hurricanes.

    Nope, never on J1 - have been in Miami a few times and it was nice enough...but one hurricane was enough for me. I'm happy over on the west coast where we only have to worry about the odd earthquake.

    What kind of job are you hoping to get there? If it's anything to do with restaurant/bar/tourism work then your chances are minimal - virtually nobody goes to Miami in the summer cause the climate is hell on earth. Unless USIT are going to organize a guaranteed job for you in advance i would be very wary. I have to doubt that you really understand just how unpleasant the weather there can be from June to September.
