91 was offical high at FLL, MIA and PBI so your car might be a few degrees off but it was hot here thats for sure but it is supposed to be in South Florida. Crank up the AC and have a cold beer.

As it has been mentioned several times before, the wind is playing a key factor for the temperatures to sore in the afternoons.

Gulfport MS set a record high today, 96, shattering the old record of 92

Boca, like people have said...it's the wind that is causing this heat. Now it wasn't 97 but I know that East Boca/Deerfield got to 93 today. Once the winds come back around to the E at our typical summertime speeds of 10-15, it will stay in the 80s (mid to upper 80s coast to around 90, maybe lower 90s far inland). When that will happen I don't know. The pattern is quite a bit different than last year in May...which could be a good thing

It was just nasty hot and humid today in Lakeland. Thank goodness for the afternoon clouds and wind.

If I'm going to bem the hot, I'd rather do it in the Bahamas so I'm headed to the Abacos tomorrow. NO tropical events for the next week, please!

Take a look at the NE - sheesh. My son is freezing with a nor'easter in Boston.

[Alacane]

Mobile and Pensacola tied record highs at 97 degrees.

Ok- how's this for you- we are in the grips of an upper level low and eastern trough- our high was "only" 77 degrees and it is about 59 out there right now! Very cool for this time of year. The NWS disco says we might be 15 degrees BELOW normal tomorrow. Wow! What a difference LATITUDE can make. I wish we had some of that heat here in the Carolinas....water temps are still very cool.

[gatorcane]

yeah but hurricane track don't let this fool you...3 months makes a HUGE difference at those lattitudes

[boca]

will be in the classic east flow by the middle of next week here in FL

[gatorcane]

I hope it comes back soon...today was the first day this year where it actually felt hot in the evening...

[cyclonaut]

Yeah it was a blazin today.

My backyard thermometer read 94 @ 2PM

Guys, chill out!! If you're this uptight in May, how are ya gonna be in September????

Do think of getting a "script for some Valium or Xanax, please.

[gatorcane]

oddly enough this discussion has very little to do with hurricanes

[StormChasr]

Exactly. It gets hot in Florida, whether or not there are 'canes. 93 in Daytona/Ormond today, and lots of T-storms.

[Scorpion]

It actually felt like I stepped into an oven when I got out of a car during the evening because it was so hot. This is the weather I like .

[gatorcane]

today should be even hotter in S. Florida...highs 91-95

[AussieMark]

This looks very similar to our November last year which is kinda like your May i.e the month before its officially summer.

we had a string of 100+ F during the latter part of the month.

and one of those days was around 102 F or 104 F from memory.

which was very odd in my experience for November

I am getting 92 for max high at fll. Here is the link I am using:

http://kamala.cod.edu/fl/latest.cdus42.FLL.KMFL.html

of course i posted that mia, fll and pbi had max highs of 91 which was wrong so from now on I will be waiting until the followingf day to be making such aggressive statements about highs. I believe coldfront is our resident stats expert so maybe coldfront can clear this all up. always striving to be as accurate as possible as their is more than enough misinformation in the south florida media. just wiat until we have a cane closing in and i start supplying quotes from the local media, you won;t believe the misinformation spread.
