- Hottest Week of Summer Ahead
South Florida faces its hottest week of summer, with heat alerts issued for Miami-Dade and Broward counties as the heat index could soar up to 110 degrees.

- Heat Advisory In Effect
A heat advisory is in effect for Miami-Dade and Broward in South Florida, with a heat index expected to reach 110 degrees.
