SOFLA FEELING THE HEAT

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:06:12 GMT

Happy Monday, South Florida!Hopefully everyone had a great weekend. South Florida has remained steamy for quite some time now as daily heat alerts have been issued since the beginning of July. This weekend was no different. A tropical wave came close to South Florida but even that was not enough to stop the heat. Showers and thunderstorms remained limited as temperatures continued to climb. South Florida is now wondering when will we finally see significant rainfall so that we can have brief relief from this heat. This morning was no different as we started off under warm conditions with temperatures in the 80s once again. The heat will be on once again today as drier air begins to move into South Florida. A tropical wave will continue to move farther away from our area as a thin layer of Saharan dust brings drier conditions once again. A mix of sun and clouds, together with a warm south wind, will once again help temperatures climb into the mid to upper 90s. Record heat will be pos...
