Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 16, 2026 —
Miami-Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas are currently under a Heat Advisory as dangerous heat conditions persist. Temperatures are ranging in the mid to upper 90s, with the heat index, or “feels like” temperature, expected to reach between 105 and 108 degrees Fahrenheit.
The National Weather Service has issued the Heat Advisory for coastal areas of Miami-Fort Lauderdale, as well as for interior Collier County. Residents are urged to take precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses.
Despite the presence of Saharan dust, there is a possibility of isolated thunderstorms developing. These storms could bring heavy downpours and lead to localized flooding in affected areas. The combination of heat and potential for intense rain presents a complex weather scenario for the region.
Looking ahead, the forecast indicates a significant increase in rain chances over the upcoming weekend. This suggests a potential shift in weather patterns after the current heatwave.
