South Florida is under a heat advisory today, with temperatures expected to soar across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. The National Weather Service warns that heat index values could reach 110°F between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Drivers along I-95 and other major routes are urged to stay hydrated and take cooling breaks as they travel.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, this advisory affects coastal areas and inland cities, making outdoor activities hazardous. Residents should avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and stay indoors when possible. The risk of heat-related illnesses is high, especially for children, the elderly, and pets.
Looking ahead, high temperatures will persist into the upcoming week, with the heat index remaining in the high 90s through Friday. While there is a slight chance of rain, these isolated showers are unlikely to bring much relief. Be sure to check your local weather apps and keep updated on any changes in advisories. Staying hydrated, wearing light clothing, and limiting outdoor activities are key safety measures this week.
