Florida’s Heat Wave Intensifies | Jacksonville News

Florida’s baking under relentless heat, with temperatures soaring into the 110s thanks to a stubborn high-pressure system and Saharan dust blocking any relief thunderstorms. Record highs are expected Friday and Saturday across the state, from Gainesville to the Gulf Coast, with even overnight lows stuck near 82. Officials warn of deadly heat risks — especially for kids and pets — as car interiors can become lethal in minutes. While Sunday may offer a slight reprieve, the heat returns stronger early next week, with South Florida flirting with records again. Rain chances remain slim, though isolated storms may pop up late in the day in South and Southwest Florida, while the Panhandle could see more activity as a front moves in.
