Miami-Fort Lauderdale Faces Heat, Humidity, and Haze from Saharan Dust

Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, June 28, 2026 —

Miami-Fort Lauderdale is currently under the influence of Saharan dust, contributing to hot, humid, and hazy weather conditions across the region.

High temperatures are expected to reach the low 90s Fahrenheit. Combined with the humidity, “feels-like” temperatures are predicted to range between 100 and 105 degrees Fahrenheit, creating uncomfortable outdoor conditions.

Isolated showers are anticipated, primarily occurring in the morning and midday along the east coast. These showers are expected to shift further inland as the day progresses.

Meteorologists predict that the Saharan dust plume will begin to clear out by Tuesday. Following its departure, an increase in rain chances is expected for the latter half of the upcoming week.

This period of intense heat and haze follows a notably dry June. Despite the dry spell, drought conditions in the area have seen some improvement recently.

Looking ahead to the Fourth of July weekend, the forecast indicates a continuation of hot weather. Residents and visitors can also expect the possibility of scattered afternoon thunderstorms.
