Currently in Miami — July 31, 2023: Heat-driven thunderstorms expected

The weather, currently.

The weather in South Florida on Monday will be largely driven by the heat of the day, in which showers and thunderstorms form over the interior of the peninsula and get carried by the breeze into the evening. This will bring numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms to Miami and Ft Lauderdale in the late afternoon and evening. Temperatures will be a degree or two lower on Monday, but it remains likely that the Heat Advisory will be extended another day. Temperatures will continue to run in the 90s the rest of this week, and with additional humidity on the way, we may see another Excessive Heat Warning over the next few days.

El tiempo, actualmente.

El tiempo en el sur de Florida el lunes será controlado en gran medida por el calor diruno, con la formación de aguaceros y tormentas eléctricas en el interior de la península que luego son transportados por la brisa. Esto traerá numerosos aguaceros y tormentas eléctricas dispersas a Miami y Ft Lauderdale al final de la tarde y al anochecer. Las temperaturas serán uno o dos grados más bajas el lunes, pero es probable que la Advertencia de Calor se extienda otro día. Las temperaturas permanecerán en los rangos bajo a medio de los 90 grados el resto de esta semana, y con humedad adicional en camino, es posible que veamos otro Aviso de Calor Excesivo en los próximos días.
