Broward County students returned to school Wednesday amid sweltering conditions, with early morning temperatures hovering in the mid-80s and heat index values already climbing into the 90s. Daytime highs are forecast to reach the low 90s, though the combination of heat and humidity will push heat indices well into triple-digit territory, prompting meteorologists to issue a heat advisory from 11 a.m. through 6 p.m.
An ocean breeze carrying Saharan dust across the region will maintain dry conditions throughout South Florida, while also creating widespread haze that may affect visibility and air quality. The dust plume, which regularly crosses the Atlantic during summer months, is expected to keep precipitation minimal across the area.
Residents are advised to take precautions during peak heat hours and stay hydrated as the heat advisory takes effect.
