Weather and your home

In Miami-Dade County, July highs average about 91°F and January lows about 58°F, with roughly 58 inches of rain a year. That much heat keeps air conditioners running hard for months, so a yearly tune-up pays off.

Storms

Over the last 10 years the National Weather Service recorded floods, damaging thunderstorm winds and hailstorms in Miami-Dade County, with hail up to 1.75 inches across. After a storm, a quick roof and gutter check catches damage before it turns into a leak.
