As Tropical Storm Bertha gets closer to Florida, South Florida continues to stay hot and dry

Summary by The Miami Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by CBS Miami, CBS4 Miami · July 22, 2026 · 1 min read

Rain chances will increase, but the impacts of Bertha won't be felt in the metro areas of South Florida.

Why this matters in The Miami

As Tropical Storm Bertha approaches, Miami's residents can expect a slight increase in rain chances, but the storm's impacts are likely to be minimal in metro areas. This is a welcome forecast for neighborhoods like Wynwood and Brickell, where flooding can be a major concern due to their low-lying areas. However, the hot and dry conditions that have been prevailing in South Florida may be alleviated somewhat by the increased rain chances. For the many residents of Little Havana and Miami Beach, who have been dealing with the heat, this could bring some relief. Nevertheless, it's crucial for Miami-Dade County residents to remain vigilant and prepared for any potential storm impacts, given the region's history of Atlantic hurricanes and flooding risks. The Miami-Dade Police and Miami Police Department will likely be on standby to respond to any emergencies that may arise.
