WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A Heat Advisory is in effect for the entire state of Florida today. Drink plenty of fluids and stay out of the sun when possible.
An intense heat wave is moving into the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches, bringing temperatures in the mid-90s and possibly reaching 96° or higher. This isn't just typical August weather — the mix of extreme heat, high humidity, and few storms will make conditions feel dangerously hot.
Monday will be mostly sunny and extremely hot, with temperatures around 94-96°. Some areas could see even higher readings. When you factor in humidity, it will feel like 105-110°. While an isolated afternoon thunderstorm is possible, most areas will stay hot and dry all day.
Tuesday could break daily temperature records, with highs potentially reaching 95-97°. Several locations may tie or break their all-time highs for the date. The heat index will again climb to dangerous levels during the afternoon. Any storms that develop will only provide brief, very localized cooling.
Wednesday continues the brutal pattern with highs around 94-96°. High humidity will make it feel like 105-110° again. A few afternoon storms are possible, but the heat remains the main story.
Thursday through the weekend, temperatures will stay well above normal in the lower to middle 90s. Even if we see more storms, the humidity will keep conditions feeling oppressive. Overnight temperatures will only drop to 78-81°, offering little relief.
With actual temperatures in the mid-90s and heat indices near 110°, heat advisories will likely continue. Take this heat seriously, especially between noon and 6 p.m. Limit outdoor activities, drink plenty of water, and take frequent breaks in air conditioning or shade.
