Inland areas saw hotter temps too, I live by HWO and it hit 98 F there on three occasions last summer, and it hit 97 F on April 26!
Ft. Lauderdale Executive Apt hit 99 F on April 26. Imagine if a similar airmass would have occurred in July instead of late April.
Last April reached 94F here, the hottest temperature of the year. In my opinion the only real way for MIA to reach 100F is for powerful, dry, southwest flow to develop in July, and this as shown by history is extremely uncommon.
Agreed MIA is probably, overall, the warmest year round area of South Florida excluding the keys.
It's probably one of the warmest stations that records weather. But as an interest point, I used to drive from PBC to Miami Beach many nights in the winter due to an ex. I'd notice (on my car thermometer) it would climb just 2-3 degrees entering South Beach. And maybe only 1 degree when you'd take the bridge from the mainland to Miami Beach. That's right, South Beach has its own UHI effect, quite noticeable and strong by the readings of my car. Though 2-3 degrees is not noticeable personally.
Broward seems to get hotter during heat waves than Dade does (in general). Maybe it's due to the curvature of the coastline towards the west in Dade?
I've also noticed the UHI in South Beach too. It seems like the second you get of the Downtown area temperatures start dropping, I live in Miami Gardens and on clear nights the temperature (according to my car) is normally about 4-8 F cooler there than in Downtown.

Or course, any densely populated area creates its own UHI. Interestingly enough, UHI near MIA has grown so significant that even Miami Beach (and my area as well, not to mention where alex lives) now record lower winter temps, lows and highs.

I wonder what would happen if they moved the Miami Beach station from the gulf course to South Beach. That night in January the airport recorded 46F, at about 3am the hotel with a thermometer visible from my balcony was reporting 52 F, and when I woke up around 8-9am, it was already near 60.
South Beach is a kind of box, when it's windy it can only flow down certain streets due to all the high rise condos bay side, and the hotels ocean side.
Not for a long time. I vote for 2051-2100.
Meanwhile, I get to enjoy 100F+ 25-40 days a year and can get 100F+ guaranteed by driving to Palm Springs anytime between June and September.
City of Los Angeles has seen 100 F+ every month from March to November and gotten close in December, January, and February.
You might not even get to see 100F in your lifetime in Miami.
You are definitely more likely to see a freeze than 100F. You got your last freeze in 2010.

Nope, last freeze was 1989, Miami Beach recorded a minimum low of 34F in 2010
