On Monday, the heat index surged (again) above 100\u00ba.   That\u2019s the so-called feels-like temperature with humidity.   Here\u2019s a check on the peak values leading to our steamy afternoon.  <\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Blog-1-15.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1720543\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The only way we can get \u201cbrief relief\u201d from the summer swelter is from occasional times of rain.  Recently, those heavy downpours were centered over interior areas of south Florida extending to SW parts of the state.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Blog-2-14.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1720545\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The image above was taken during the early evening (Monday) as most of the storms were either fading or drifting towards the Gulf coast.  So, \u201cwhat\u2019s next\u201d  as we head into the midweek?  The only change is a minor one and something that will probably filter our sunshine!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5_547f61.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1720547\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Here\u2019s a recent image of light Saharan Dust entering the region.  It\u2019s expected to slowly move into the Keys, then over the south Florida mainland, with a layer of haze.  We see these episodes (of Dust) every season and they come with both Pro\u2019s and Con\u2019s.  The most notable advantage is that it suppresses tropical activity.  However, it has some Less popular effects, too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Blog-4-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1720549\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Depending on the dust depth, it can lower visibility and dim the sun, even cause respiratory issues for people with allergies (and other health-challenging effects).  This initial batch of Dust is set to arrive Tuesday but far from a blockbuster episode, at least in the short term.  You\u2019ll probably detect some haze due to this spread of the high level dust.   It\u2019s worth noting that during the late week, a separate and stronger dust plume could reach us.  There\u2019s no guarantee whether it stays \u201cintact on the track\u201d but we think so, at this early point.  Saharan Dust won\u2019t temper the heat and there\u2019s proof in the forecast (below) how temperature highs remain stifling.  The current forecast calls for hot and hazy days with dust effects making for more of a challenge in developing rain and storms.  Any activity should be fairly isolated, although slow-moving due to the light wind flow.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7_0167ae.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1720551\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 Sunbeam Television Corp.
