No true Miamian is shocked by a little summer sweat, but our temperatures have been on an entirely different level as of late. In fact, last Friday\u2019s weather was anything but typical!<\/p>\n
According to the National Weather Service<\/a>, Miami actually set a daily record high temperature of 96 degrees on Friday, August 14. This breaks the previous high of 95 degrees set all the way back in 1909!<\/p>\n The record-breaking day brought high humidity to the region, creating triple-digit \u201cfeels like\u201d temperatures that triggered Heat Advisories across much of South Florida. And the heat isn\u2019t letting up.<\/p>\n A Heat Advisory will once again be in effect today from 11 AM to 7 PM. In addition, unseasonably low RH values are expected early this week over interior South FL which may result in an elevated fire risk. #FLwx<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/CEvdU37h3X<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NWS Miami (@NWSMiami) August 17, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n A Heat Advisory is currently in effect across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. While actual air temperatures in Miami are forecast to hit around 96 to 97 degrees today, heat index values are expected to soar between 105 and 112. So if you\u2019re heading outside, grab your highest SPF, stay hydrated and prepare for another stretch of sweltering weather.<\/p>\n During this time, the NWS strongly urges drinking plenty of water, limiting strenuous outdoor activities during the afternoon, taking air conditioning breaks whenever possible and checking up on relatives and neighbors.
