South Florida has four primary climate locations with relatively long periods of record: Miami (some records 1839-1890, continuous records 1895-present), Fort Lauderdale (some records 1839-1841, continuous records 1912-present), West Palm Beach (continuous records 1888-present), and Naples (continuous records 1942-present).
Here are maps and descriptions of the locations of the weather instruments through time: Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Naples.

These outlooks are issued daily by the NOAA/NWS Climate Prediction Center.
The outlooks express forecast probability that temperatures or total precipitation in the 6-10 day, 8-14 day, 1 month or 3 month periods will tend to be similar to the 10-highest ("above-normal"), middle-10 ("near-normal"), or 10-lowest ("below-normal") observed in the 1981-2010 normals period.
Color shading on the outlook maps follows standard convention for warmer/colder or wetter/drier, with near-normal in white. Darker shades of red or blue (or green and brown) indicate a higher forecast probability.
The monthly and seasonal outlooks are similar to the 6-10 and 8-14 day outlooks. However, in areas where "Equal Chances" (EC) is shown, it means that climate signals do not favor either above- or below-normal, and above-, near-, or below-normal forecast categories are equally likely to occur. A forecast of Equal Chances does NOT necessarily mean forecast conditions are expected to be near-normal.
