A man walks his dog on Biscayne Boulevard, in Miami, as a heat advisory was in effect for most of South Florida, on Wednesday, July 8, 2026. Heat alerts with indexes between 105 and 108 continued through July 15 and more are on the way.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service in Miami issued its ninth consecutive heat advisory alert Wednesday morning, forecasting \u201cfeels-like\u201d temperatures between 105 and 108 degrees.<\/p>\n
The alert is in effect<\/a> from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for all of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.<\/p>\n The actual air temperature hits peak 93 degrees at 2 p.m. and is expected to simmer there until 5 p.m. We\u2019ll have to wait until at least 8 Wednesday evening before the needle dips below 90 and 7 p.m. before the heat index returns to double digits at 99.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t look for rain to cool things down until at least Friday when there\u2019s a 40% chance of thunderstorms.<\/p>\n \u201cChances of rain will decrease today with increasing Saharan dust,\u201d forecasters said Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n \u201cMy FPL bill has doubled!!! From $320 a month to almost $600. WOW!! This is crazy and I feel like my A\/C can\u2019t keep up with the heat outside specially hours between 3 p.m. until 7 p.m.,\u201d Harold Chong of Miami-Dade\u2019s Sunset Park neighborhood posted on the social media site Nextdoor on Tuesday.<\/p>\n HVAC repair folks suggested that those feeling similar pain \u201ccheck your indoor coil to make sure it\u2019s clean, also check to make sure you have insulation in the attic\u201d and recommended AC service at least once a year.<\/p>\n FPL suggests<\/a> setting your AC to its auto mode to save wear on the fan and to set the thermostat between 75 and 78 degrees to reduce your monthly bill.<\/p>\n How hot is it?<\/p>\n Ticket aggregating platform Seat Pick released its \u201csurvivability<\/a>\u201d survey of stadiums hosting World Cup matches just ahead of the England-Norway pairing on July 11 when Miami was broiling under the ongoing wave of heat alerts. Miami Gardens\u2019 Hard Rock Stadium ranked sixth in the middle of 11 U.S.-hosted stadiums.<\/p>\n Miami Gardens\u2019 Mayor Rodney Harris\u2019 team had issued a severe weather alert on Instagram concurrently with the release of the survey when the forecast called for the same 108 heat index peak that led to this week\u2019s alerts.<\/p>\n The main problem with the stadium, according to the Seat Pick survey: \u201cblistering feels-like temperatures of 111\u00b0F, while forking out $12 for a pint of beer.\u201d<\/p>\n Not the best way to keep cool, experts say, but we sympathize with the cold beer blast. Alcohol is dehydrating.<\/p>\n Instead, \u201cdrink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors,\u201d the Miami weather service said in its alert. \u201cHot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illness.\u201d<\/p>\n By fluids they mean water. Water with electrolytes is also preferable for those sweating outdoors.<\/p>\n \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter who you are or how long you\u2019ve been in an environment,\u201d Lester Cede\u00f1o of Fort Lauderdale Parks and Recreation told Miami Herald news partner CBS News Miami. \u201cHeat stress can set upon anyone at any time, so just listen to your body<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Will there be a 10th and 11th consecutive day of heat alerts?<\/p>\n Expect them. While the Miami weather service tends to issue the alerts in the early morning hours on affected days, a 105 heat index is expected Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons.<\/p>\n Weekend rain and storm chances are between 30 and 40%.<\/p>\n Howard Cohen<\/a><\/p>\n Miami Herald<\/p>\n Miami Herald consumer trends reporter Howard Cohen, a 2017 Media Excellence Awards winner, has covered pop music, theater, health and fitness, obituaries, municipal government, breaking news and general assignment.
