The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for several counties in South Florida, including Palm Beach County, Broward County, and Miami-Dade County. Temperatures are expected to soar into the mid-90s, with humidity levels making it feel even hotter.
Heat Wave Hits Boca Raton
Boca Raton residents can expect the heat wave to hit the city later this week, with temperatures reaching as high as 98 degrees on Friday and Saturday. The National Weather Service has issued a heat index warning for the area, which means that the heat will feel even more oppressive due to the humidity.
Other Parts of Florida at Risk
Some parts of Central and North Florida are also at risk of seeing record-breaking heat. The Panhandle region, which includes cities like Pensacola and Panama City, is expected to see temperatures reach into the mid-90s, with humidity levels making it feel even hotter.
- Palm Beach County: Heat advisory issued for Friday and Saturday, with temperatures reaching as high as 98 degrees
- Broward County: Heat advisory issued for Friday and Saturday, with temperatures reaching as high as 97 degrees
- Miami-Dade County: Heat advisory issued for Friday and Saturday, with temperatures reaching as high as 96 degrees

The good news is that the humidity shouldn’t be as bad as it was last summer. According to the National Weather Service, the humidity levels are expected to be lower this year due to a high-pressure system that will bring dry air from the west.
Stay Cool and Stay Informed
Residents are advised to stay cool and stay informed about the latest weather updates. You can sign up for weather alerts via text or download a weather app on your phone to get real-time updates on the heat wave.
The National Weather Service also recommends taking precautions to stay safe in the heat, such as staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous activities during the hottest part of the day, and checking on vulnerable neighbors.
