FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Another unusually warm winter is in the books for South Florida, the second-warmest ever recorded in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
“It may sound like a broken record, but South Florida experienced yet another warmer than normal winter,” meteorologists with the National Weather Service Miami wrote in their summary of the winter season Friday.
This year’s winter was characterized by extremes: long stretches of hot days, and a few intense cold fronts that plunged temperatures as low as the 30s. It was also a rare third consecutive La Nina year, the first such event of the 21st century.
