PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – South Florida is in a cold spot.
It’s the kind of time heated car seats deserve. It is also the type of time that is known to stop iguanas.
The stage is set for Miami-Dade and Broward counties to see the coldest temperatures so far this winter season. As the sky stays clear, northwest winds continue to carry cold air to the region.
Temperatures dropped to 40 on Wednesday morning across South Florida and are only expected to warm slightly with highs in the mid-60s throughout the day.
Chief meteorologist Betty Davis said Tuesday that “sparse Wednesday night clouds and milder northerly winds should provide the right weather conditions for temperatures to drop even further.”
That’s when Miami-Dade and Broward can reach the coldest temperatures so far this season. Miami could reach 43 degrees Thursday morning. This would exceed the 47 degrees of temperature recorded on December 26, 2020, the coldest temperature in the city so far this winter. It would not be surprising to see 30s in some inland neighborhoods.
Announcements
Wednesday morning, Miami recorded a slightly warmer temperature of 52 degrees.
Will it be cold enough for the iguanas to rain? The forecasts of the National Meteorological Service remind Floridians: “Iguanas have cold blood. They slow down or stand still when temperatures drop in the 1940s. They can fall from trees but are not dead.
The cold weather comes to an end on Friday. Seasonal temperatures return with lows of about 60 degrees and highs in the late 1970s in South Florida.
The Homeless Voice made its way back to Broward County as temperatures began to drop. The outreach team provided blankets, gloves, shoes and food to the homeless who were fragile or afraid to take refuge in cold shelters due to COVID-19.
The team also checked the vital elements to make sure people stay healthy during the cold.
“A lot of shelters don’t carry people because of Covid,” said Sean Cononie, voice director for homeless people. “They don’t have enough rooms for the sick. So what you provide is really a necessity. Mask, hand cleaners, sleeping bags, blankets, thermal sleeping bags, blankets and PPE. ”
