What to wear? At least we are not Chennai, the capitol of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu where a year's worth of rain fell in the last few weeks and will not stop soon.
Chennai's historic flood has already caused more than $2 billion in damage according to estimates. That's in a coastal zone that in recent years has been desperately trying to upgrade its infrastructure.
Just the weather? If you have attended Art Basel Miami for the past fourteen years, try to remember summer-like downpours. It hasn't happened before. People who lived in Miami for a long time are rattled. Summer rains stop -- usually like clockwork -- with the first cold fronts in early November.
Climate scientists point to an extraordinarily strong El Nino in the Pacific for the reason weather patterns around the world are scrambled. Take a quick visit to Miami's ocean-side beaches to check out the erosion. Enjoy the art. Bring an umbrella and sandals. Today, leave your Miu Miu's at home.

When it rains during your event, it's called weather, not climate.
My Mui Mui's are eyeglasses
The Art Fair? LOL. Are you implying that Basel is a low budget bazaar kind of event?
Anon 1: You're wrong. What we're seeing is beyond any specific weather event. Man-made climate is affecting all weather.
Anon 2: Amusing, but not relevant.
Anon 3: Obviously, you are highly alert to any words inconsistent with the elite status of Art Basel in Miami. You might want to shift your focus to climate change, which not only threatens the show existence but the entire City of Miami Beach, in 15 years.
