Miami is expected to reach 99 degrees on August 18, which would mark the hottest temperature recorded in the city since 1942—the only year Miami’s thermometer has ever climbed to 100 degrees. The anticipated high would demolish the existing daily record of 96 degrees, intensifying an already dangerous heat event gripping the region.
A heat advisory remains active through the evening hours with no precipitation anticipated to provide relief from the oppressive conditions. The combination of extreme temperatures and high humidity levels is creating hazardous circumstances for residents and outdoor workers throughout South Florida.
Conditions are expected to shift beginning Wednesday as scattered afternoon thunderstorms develop and persist daily through the weekend. While storm activity will moderate temperatures to the low-to-middle 90s, the elevated humidity will persist, making conditions feel comparatively unchanged despite the slight cooling trend.
