Records go back to 1895.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Fort Lauderdale, meanwhile, set its own record by reaching 98 degrees, which was last set in 2024. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">A heat advisory is in effect through Tuesday evening, with no rain in the forecast to bring us relief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">As skies remain mainly clear, temperatures are forecast to drop to 80\u00b0F overnight across Miami-Dade and Broward counties. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Spotty afternoon thunderstorms return Wednesday and will be with us each day into the weekend. This will bring our temperatures down to the low-to-middle 90s. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">It will not feel any different, however, since humidity will be higher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">If Miami reaches 97 degrees Wednesday, it will surpass the record high for the date. The heat index is forecast to peak at or over 105 degrees. Thunderstorms may develop after 4 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MIAMI \u2014 Tuesday, Aug. 18, will go down as the hottest day ever recorded in Miami since 1942!&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375050,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-375049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375049"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375049\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
