Well that was only a factor last week.....most of the summer has been dry due to the Bermuda High being too far west, causing a dry high pressure ridge for the SE coast. We have a high to our west, causing west winds from the Gulf that usually brings more instability and higher DPs....most of the summer our dew points have been upper 60s/low 70s. Over the last few days it's been more like mid-70s..hopefully that means the drought is waning.
Yeah, but I wonder what was causing it to be worse in Miami area than the northern part of the state. And far worse than Ft. Myers/Naples, for that matter.

Well, remember the Miami does "jut" out a little bit more east than Jacksonville for example. I think Ft. Myers/Naples where just too far west to be affected.

SW Florida looks like an amazing summer climate. From Tampa to Naples gets the most thunderstorms in the country.
Ft. Myers gets some amazing storms, I honestly get incredibly jealous of the storms out there.
Didn't know there would be a big difference between SW and SE Florida; I kinda assume that the southern half of Florida is all about the same climate, not that much interesting going on.

They have similar temperatures, but the Gulf Coast has slightly warmer waters than the Atlantic so it fuels up more storms. Also, since the prevailing wind direction is east, so storms usually build up over the interior and get pushed to the West Coast.

Parts of the gulf look even warmer than the Atlantic gulf stream ATM. If an established cyclone ever made it into the eastern Gulf, it would be having a field day.

Yeah the warm SSTs this year are quite alarming. Even here on the "cooler" East Coast the SST is approaching 89 F. Wouldn't be surprised if we reach about 91 F by the end of August.
Peterson Key and Johnson Key are above 90 F already, it would be incredible if they reached about 93-94 F. That's near Persian Gulf status.
Yeah, if a cyclone would develop out there it would be absolutely ridiculous....anything more than Cat 1 would probably quickly become Cat 3+ in no time.
