Miami residents are bracing for sweltering temperatures as the city faces its first heat advisory of the year. In Miami-Dade County, the alert will take effect from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., warning of highs in the mid-90s and "feels like" temperatures topping 105 degrees. According to a weather forecast by the NWS, there's a 10 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms later in the day, although the majority of the region will remain dry, with light and variable winds offering little relief from the heat.

Despite the high temperatures, the conditions are favorable for outdoor activities on the water. NBC Miami reports, "Seas are only running about one foot or so and we are only calling for a light chop on Biscayne Bay." Additionally, the chances of rip currents are low due to the gentle winds. Residents looking to cool off at the beach, or enjoy a day out on a boat, can take advantage of these conditions.

Looking ahead to the weekend, Miami is expected to stay "hot, humid and mostly rain free into Saturday," while Sunday could see a slight increase in afternoon storms, as per NBC Miami's report. However, these storms are not predicted to be widespread enough to disrupt outdoor plans significantly. The following week may bring some respite, with the possibility of sea breezes driving temperatures down to the low 90s, which is still considered above average for this time of year.

Extending into the next week, the forecast from the National Weather Service suggests a higher probability of showers and thunderstorms, with a 50 percent chance on Sunday night and Monday. For those planning ahead, it might be wise to prepare for potential precipitation, while the stretch of sunny days preceding could be best used for making the most of Miami's beaches, now under the siege of heat and humidity.
