Happy Wednesday, June 24, 2026. South Florida! Hopefully everyone has been able to cool down after a few days of intense heat across South Florida. A heat advisory was issued on Tuesday for Miami -Dade and Broward County as feels-like temperatures soared well into the low 100s. And while this morning
Key takeaway A heat advisory was issued on Tuesday for Miami-Dade and Broward County as feels-like temperatures soared well into the low 100s.
Why this matters in The Miami
The heat and smoke blanketing Miami-Dade County will have a disproportionate impact on neighborhoods like Little Havana and Wynwood, where residents often rely on outdoor activities and walkability. The Air Quality Alert extension through 3PM today means that vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and young children, should take extra precautions to stay indoors and avoid strenuous activities. The lingering Saharan dust and high humidity will also exacerbate flooding risks in low-lying areas like Miami Beach, where sea-level rise is already a major concern. As the weekend approaches and heat alerts become more likely, residents should be prepared for potential disruptions to outdoor events and activities in Brickell and other popular areas. The city's response to these heat waves will be crucial in protecting public health, particularly in communities with limited access to air-conditioned spaces and other cooling resources.
