King Tides begin today, September 26, and continue through September 30. These higher-than-normal tides can contribute to flooding in low-lying and coastal areas.

During King Tide periods, be mindful of your surroundings, avoid driving or walking through flooded areas, and remember that heavy rainfall can worsen flooding.

Stay informed. Stay prepared.

Miami-Dade mourns the loss of activist Gloria Steinem. For more than five decades, she gave women the courage to demand equality in their homes, workplaces, and communities. She inspired generations of women, including many right here in South Florida. Her activism and unwavering commitment to justice changed what was thought possible for women of all ages. We honor her legacy and carry her work forward.

September is Florida Preparedness Month and there’s no better time to take action.

As we enter the historic peak of hurricane season, preparedness remains our best defense. Now is the time to review your emergency plan, check your supplies, stay informed, and know what to do if conditions change.

Throughout #FLPrepMonth, we’ll be sharing practical, actionable information to help you and your household stay ready before, during and after an emergency.

Preparedness is a year-round commitment. Don’t wait for a threat to get ready.

Sep 1, 2026: If you're thinking that this summer has been unusually hot & dry, the statistics show it! Three of our 4 climate sites tied or set record summer heat, in addition to well below normal precipitation. More data and information will be provided later today. #flwx #SoFla

Before you head out, know what’s around you.

Heavy rain can quickly overwhelm drainage systems and create localized flooding.

Make these habits part of your rainy-day routine:
Know your flood-prone areas.
Check your route before leaving.
Never drive through flooded roads.
Give yourself extra travel time.
Stay informed as conditions change.

When water covers the road, Turn Around, Don’t Drown.
