Yes, well at least for daytime highs. Keeps things in the low 80s.

All the tropical storms I remember were 70s with dewpoints in the 70s. Except for Sandy which was a weird beast. When was the last Miami got a storm as strong as Sandy? Sandy was more impressive by storm surge than wind

Hurricane Wilma in October 2005, it was a Category 3 when it was coming over us (was a borderline 3/4 when it made landfall about 80 miles west of us).


That was in October (late October) so I remember we got a cold front after. Dropped into the high 50s/low 60s for a couple of mornings after.



What's ironic is I believe we got affected by Sandy as well when it was on its way up there and it got chilly for a few days after as well. Fell into the mid 50s for the couple of days before Halloween.

Hmmm, I don't exactly remember.


Here's a write-up from it:

Wilma



I had higher gusts than Miami or Ft. Lauderdale because I was further west (was right in the eye wall for a while) as you can see, Opa-Locka which is further west had max gust of 105 mph. Where I lived at the time there were unofficial reports of 120 mph wind gusts.

Dewpoints in the 50s in Florida panhandle and Gulf coast. New Orleans & Bridgeport pretty much the same temp & DP.

The max temp in Leeds has been higher than in London for 4 days straight. London reached 20C or above only once in the past four days while we've only failed to reach 20C once. London has seen significant rainfall every day this week, while we have received any rain at all on only one.

A North-South divide, but in reverse.
