The current record of 7°C marks a milestone in the recent climate history of Miami Beach, approaching the historical lows of the early 20th century and surpassing the cold streak of recent decades. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) continue to monitor the system, which has already generated frost alerts and severe winter weather warnings for much of Florida. Current forecasts for early February are approaching unusual levels, according to local meteorological sources, noting that such a significant impact from polar air has not been recorded since December 2010. The phenomenon, driven by an Arctic front moving over South Florida, keeps the sky clear with sunny conditions, but 53% humidity accentuates the feeling of cold in coastal areas. For the rest of Sunday, local emergency agencies predict that the maximum temperature will barely reach 10°C, while the minimum will drop to 4°C overnight. The temperatures recorded this Sunday were the lowest since 2010. With gusts reaching up to 22 mph (35 km/h) according to the daily forecast, the UV index remains at 5, although the low actual temperature has deterred the public from going to the beaches and open-air shopping centers. Authorities emphasized the importance of wearing multiple layers of clothing and limiting time outdoors, as 'the combination of wind and cold makes it feel dangerously cold' for those without adequate protection. As the week begins, the frigid air is expected to slowly retreat, though the cool environment will persist. According to Google Weather data, the current temperature in the city is 7°C, but persistent northwest winds at 19 mph (31 km/h) have dropped the feels-like temperature to 2°C. These figures, as reported by the Argentine News Agency, are well below the usual tropical averages for the area, prompting the activation of safety protocols for vulnerable populations and pets. The impact of the polar wave is also being felt in the city's infrastructure and daily rhythm.
