For visitors coming from the UK, understanding Florida’s subtropical climate is key. Though the Kia Center is air-conditioned, the weather outside can be warm or humid. Lightweight, casual attire is your best bet, with comfortable shoes for walking. Bringing a light sweater or jacket is a good idea, as indoor temperatures can sometimes feel chilly.
