How extreme does South Miami Heights's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days South Miami Heights has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.

Based on 50+ years of daily weather observations (1971–present), from the Perrine 4W station 6 km away. Updated through April 2026 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.
