Heavy rain raises humidity levels in South Florida
- Temperatures in South Florida will reach near 90 degrees this afternoon.
- Rainfall is expected to contribute to higher humidity levels, causing 'feels-like' temperatures to soar.
- Residents are encouraged to stay hydrated as weather conditions are likely to impact outdoor activities.
South Florida is experiencing significant weather changes as rain showers are forecasted for Tuesday, July 8, 2025. The NEXT Weather team predicts that after a warm start to the day, temperatures in the low 80s will rise to near 90 degrees in the afternoon. This increase in heat, combined with the high humidity from rain, will lead to 'feels-like' temperatures in the upper 90s and low 100s. Residents are advised to stay hydrated throughout the day. While there is a 20% chance of afternoon storms, most of these are expected to remain inland and over the Everglades, affecting primarily the northern Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. As Miami-Dade prepares for a mostly rainy afternoon, activities, such as the Miami Marlins baseball game, will continue with the park's roof closed. This downpour is expected to clear by the evening, allowing a brief respite from rain, before more showers are anticipated mid-week. The weather conditions serve as a reminder for residents to take precautions in the heat and humidity, and they can expect a few mostly sunny days before rain returns on Wednesday and Thursday, potentially disrupting outdoor plans again.
