Florida The Record MILEPOST 1038

4 counties set all-time record highs in August 18–19

Across Florida, the highest readings in each county's series since 1951. The warmest was Broward, Florida, at 98.6°F.

Between August 18 and August 19, 2026, 4 counties across 1 state recorded the highest value in their county series, which begins in 1951. The series is NOAA/NCEI nClimGrid-Daily, a gridded county-area average — so these are areal extremes, not single-station readings, and they are not directly comparable to a co-op station's record book.
