I know what you’re thinking – “it’s summer, in Florida … of course it’s a heat wave!”
But the past few days have been hot even by Florida standards:
Miami teetered in the high nineties, unusual for a city where – like clockwork – summer highs stay in the low 90s.
Tallahassee broke above the 100ยบ F mark.
To the uninitiated, that may seem reversed. Shouldn’t Miami be hottest since it’s farther south?Add another to the list of Florida's "seemingly strange (but explainable)" weather peculiarities.
Florida isn’t as homogenous as the “out of staters” would lead you to believe.
Although, yes, in summertime, it’s always hot in Florida.
We don’t need a heat wave to tell us that!

I was in Tallahassee last week to enjoy that 100 degree weather. We hung out on a river part of the time, so I didn't mind the heat at all.
I remember Jacksonville as the hottest city in Florida and it is almost considered North.
We had 107 yesterday. Phew.
Yankees get snow bound, temperate climates get heat bound. Just something we must get thru I guess.Thank goodness for A/C.
I almost always enjoy your graphic presentations even the ones that are not good news. I wish I knew how you make them.
Thanks for your comments. Tallahassee by some measures is hotter than Naples -- but that's only counting the summer. Winter is much colder ... and cloudier. And yes, it's true, even bad graphics can be illuminating, if for only pointing out how to do it better next time.
