Gentle Breezes and Golden Skies: Miami’s Mid-February Warm-Up

Sunshine Takes Center Stage Across the Magic City

Miami residents and visitors can look forward to a quintessential South Florida winter day this Wednesday, February 11, 2026. After a brief period of cooler temperatures earlier in the month, the region is settling into a seasonably warm and dry pattern. Today features a perfect balance of mild morning air and a bright, sun-drenched afternoon, making it an ideal day for outdoor activities along the coast or in the city's vibrant neighborhoods.

Morning: A Crisp and Clear Start

The day begins with a refreshing chill. Early morning temperatures are hovering between 60°F and 62°F, accompanied by relatively high humidity near 84%. As the sun rises, expect partly cloudy skies that will quickly give way to clearer conditions. Winds are currently gentle, coming from the southeast at approximately 2 to 5 mph, providing a soft breeze for early commuters and joggers along the Rickenbacker Causeway.

Afternoon: Peak Warmth and High UV

As we head into the midday hours, the mercury will climb steadily toward a high of 78°F to 79°F. The National Weather Service indicates that the afternoon will be dominated by sunshine with only a few scattered clouds. While the air will feel pleasant, residents should be mindful of the following:

• Temperature: Peaking at 79°F by mid-afternoon.
• UV Index: Reaching a high level (7), meaning sun protection is highly recommended for those spending more than 20 minutes outdoors.
• Humidity: Dropping to a comfortable 61% by the afternoon.
• Wind: Shifting slightly to the south-southeast at 5 to 10 mph.

Evening: Ideal Conditions for the Outdoors

The pleasant weather continues well into the evening. Skies will remain clear, and the lack of cloud cover will allow temperatures to slip back down to a comfortable 67°F by 10:00 PM. For those with late-night plans, the temperature will eventually bottom out near 59°F to 60°F in the early hours of Thursday morning. Rain remains a non-factor, with a 0% chance of precipitation throughout the night.

Important Weather Advisories

While the skies are clear, there are a few environmental factors to keep in mind today:

• Drought Conditions: South Florida is currently experiencing widespread severe drought conditions, with extreme drought noted in parts of the southern Everglades. Residents are urged to follow local water conservation guidelines.
• Fire Risk: Due to the dry conditions and low rainfall, there is an above-normal risk of wildfires in metro Miami-Dade. A burn ban remains in effect for several neighboring counties.
• Marine Update: While a significant swell event is occurring in the central Atlantic, local Miami waters remain manageable with seas generally in the 2 to 3-foot range.
