Summer in February: Miami Basks in 80-Degree Sun This Friday

A Perfect Start to the Weekend

Miami residents and visitors are waking up to a quintessential South Florida day this Friday, February 13, 2026. As the city moves through the heart of February, the typical winter chill found elsewhere in the country remains a distant memory here. Today’s forecast calls for plenty of sunshine, record-approaching warmth, and just enough of a breeze to keep the humidity in check.

Morning: Crisp and Clear

The day began with clear skies and a comfortable early-morning temperature of 64°F. Humidity levels were relatively high at 88% during the sunrise hours, creating that familiar soft glow over the Atlantic. For those heading out for early commutes or morning jogs along Ocean Drive, conditions are near-perfect, with light winds and high visibility. As the sun rises, expect the mercury to climb quickly, shedding the morning jacket weather by 10:00 AM.

Afternoon: The Heat Returns

By midday, Miami will see temperatures peak at a balmy 80°F. This marks a significant milestone for the month, as it is the first time in over two weeks that the city has hit the 80-degree mark, ending a notable streak of cooler, sub-80 temperatures. The afternoon will be dominated by mostly sunny skies with only a few scattered clouds. Key details for the afternoon include:

• Maximum Temperature: 80°F (27°C)
• Wind: South-southwest at 13 mph, providing a steady tropical breeze.
• UV Index: High (Level 7), making sunscreen a necessity for anyone spending time at the beach or outdoors.
• Rain Chance: A very low 10% chance of a stray, fast-moving shower.

Evening and Night: Tropical Tranquility

As the sun sets over the Everglades, temperatures will gradually dip back into the low 70s, eventually settling at a night-time low of 63°F. The skies will remain mostly clear with periodic clouds passing through. While a slight increase in moisture might bring a 15% chance of a light drizzle late tonight, no significant accumulation is expected. It is an ideal evening for outdoor dining or a stroll through Wynwood.

Marine and Safety Notices

While land conditions are calm, the National Weather Service has noted a cold front positioned north of the region. A Western Atlantic Gale Warning is currently in effect for offshore waters. Although the strongest gale-force winds are expected to remain north of 29N and diminish throughout the day, local mariners should be aware of seas ranging from 9 to 13 feet in the open Atlantic. Closer to the coast, conditions are much safer, but small craft should always exercise caution when heading out past the reef.
