There is a drought in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. By the time you get to Palm Beach County, they are doing a lot better.

I'm in Europe these days, and it's cold here and rainy, even in Spain. It's terrible.

Hard to imagine. Was down to Pompano/LBTS last week, the week before, last month and had to deal with downpours on and off, especially in late afternoon.

I left for Europe in early August, so maybe things have improved. A lot. But right before I left, it was days and days without rain, and when we did get rain, rather weak stuff. Ofc for Miami Beach, our rainiest time is actually September.

Perhaps you should listen to people who have lived in South FL than the pros..

If there was a severe drought in effect, all plants/vegetation would look brown or in distress or you would have to deal with random fires, as in much of CA. That ain't the case in FL.
So the real issue is that you think you know better than everyone else but in reality don't know what you're talking about at all.

Like I said, it doesn't work that way.

Actually you have no clue because you try to downplay Miami or FL in general while the entire state of CA is in a severe drought for years(not to mention the fires).

I can only speak about Broward, which either way is too close to Miami-Dade (skies looked gloomy around Miami too).

There you go again being flat out wrong. Earlier in this thread I made it clear that I prefer the weather of South Florida, and I've pointed out in numerous other threads that Miami is one of my favorite cities.

I don't need to convince anyone. The facts do it for me. You're just choosing to ignore these facts.

You want facts?

You said Miami is currently in a drought.

Does this look like a drought to you?

Miami, Florida (33010) Conditions & Forecast | Weather Underground

Sat: Partly cloudy early with thunderstorms becoming likely during the afternoon. High 93F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 90%.

Vs..

San Francisco, California (94101) Conditions & Forecast | Weather Underground

Can you see the difference?

Are you saying that you are surprised there is not a 90% chance of rain in SF, this week, in August??

^ Ignore him and look at the facts

Miami IS currently in a Extreme drought. This means that soil moisture is exceptionally low for this period if the year. Remember, drought is relative. I've had roughly 28 inches of rain this year. For me...that's a extreme drought...for a desert it would be a deluge
