Key takeaway Over 75% of Miami Beach is also covered by dense sargassum seaweed, adding to the beach hazards.
Why this matters in The Miami
The combination of heat, humidity, and sargassum seaweed on Miami Beach will likely deter some visitors, affecting local businesses that rely on beach tourism. With over 75% of the beach covered in seaweed, water activities and sports events may need to be adjusted or relocated. The breezy conditions and afternoon storms will also impact outdoor events and sports games scheduled for the weekend in neighborhoods like Wynwood and Little Havana. As the area is prone to sea-level and flooding risks, the lingering storms may exacerbate these issues, particularly in low-lying areas. The potential arrival of a Saharan dust plume later in the week could bring additional challenges, including hazy skies that may affect outdoor activities and air quality in densely populated areas like Brickell and Miami Beach.
