Heat Advisory Issued for South Florida Amid Scorching Temperatures

Heat Advisory Issued for South Florida Amid Scorching Temperatures

South Florida is experiencing a prolonged stretch of extreme heat, with temperatures expected to peak at 98°F (36.7°C) in Miami and 97°F (36.1°C) in Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday, August 18, 2026. These temperatures are nearing or exceeding daily records of 96°F (35.6°C) and 98°F (36.7°C), respectively. Heat indices could reach a sweltering 112°F (44.4°C), prompting the issuance of a heat advisory. Scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop later in the week, potentially bringing slight relief by trimming a few degrees off the high temperatures. However, conditions will remain hot and humid, with highs in the mid-90s°F (mid-30s°C) through Friday. [NBC6, 2026-08-18]

Texas Faces Prolonged Heat as El Niño Strengthens

Texas Faces Prolonged Heat as El Niño Strengthens

Texas remains under heat advisories with some of the year's hottest temperatures expected this week, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). While temperatures typically peak in mid-August, triple-digit heat can persist into October. The NWS predicts above-normal temperatures through at least October, particularly in western Texas. Additionally, a strengthening El Niño event, with a greater than 90% chance of being very strong during the Northern Hemisphere fall and winter of 2026-27, is expected to bring wetter and stormier conditions to Texas this winter. The Old Farmer's Almanac forecasts a warmer-than-average September followed by a slightly cooler October, with below-average rainfall throughout the fall. Source time: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT.

Miami Ties All-Time High Temperature Record at 100°F

Miami Ties All-Time High Temperature Record at 100°F

Miami experienced a historic heatwave this week, with temperatures reaching 100°F (37.8°C) on Tuesday, August 18, 2026. This ties the city's all-time high temperature record, previously set on July 21, 1942, according to the National Weather Service. The extreme heat was exacerbated by westward winds that prevented the usual cooling ocean breeze along the coastline. The heat index, or 'feels-like' temperature, soared well above 100°F, prompting health officials to issue warnings. The Miami heat advisory ended at 7 p.m. Tuesday, with slightly cooler temperatures forecast for the following day.
