You’re not imagining it, Miami-Dade County has gotten hotter in the last fifty years, a trend that’s set to continue if climate change remains unchecked.
Yes, it’s already very hot in Miami-Dade County. But if climate change continues unabated, South Florida could go from steamy to scorching, adding an extra month of “extreme heat” days by mid-century.
A researcher found that, with proof of government ineptitude in their backyards and basements, Detroit residents were unlikely to cite climate change as a cause for local flooding.
By mid-century, Florida could have more days that feel like 100 degrees than any other state, according to a new heat report by the Union of Concerned Scientists. Miami-Dade tops the list of future hot counties.
