Miami, Florida – A stretch of sizzling sunshine is set to blanket South Florida this weekend, with temperatures climbing into the 90s and heat indices pushing past the 100-degree mark in parts of the southwest region.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, daytime highs from Friday through Sunday will range from 86°F to 90°F in the East Metro, with Southwest Florida hitting 93°F to 94°F. Mostly sunny skies and minimal cloud cover will intensify heat stress, especially in coastal and inland areas from Naples to Fort Myers.
Urban centers like Miami, West Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale will feel the heat as pavement and buildings retain warmth, raising nighttime lows and limiting relief. Heat-sensitive groups, including children and older adults, are urged to stay indoors during peak afternoon hours.
If you’re heading outdoors, wear light clothing, drink plenty of water, and avoid strenuous activities in the heat of the day. Pet owners should keep animals off hot pavement and ensure access to shade and hydration.
