Marine biologists in the Florida Keys have begun physically relocating endangered coral species to deeper water and land-based facilities as ocean temperatures climb faster than the catastrophic 2023 season, while a dense Saharan dust plume settled over Miami-Dade and Broward counties on July 8, triggering heat advisories with “feels-like”
Hilton and Reuben Brothers have signed a management agreement to convert the W South Beach into Waldorf Astoria Miami Beach, marking the luxury brand’s first hotel in the Miami Beach market. The 20-story oceanfront property at 2201 Collins Avenue will close for renovations on or around August 20, 2026, and is expected to reopen in winter 2027 under Hilton management, ending the property’s nearly two-decade affiliation with Marriott. Key Takeaways Hilton and Reuben Brothers announced a management agreement on July 7 to transform the W South Beach into Waldorf Astoria Miami Beach, with a planned winter 2027 reopening. Reuben Brothers purchased the property in October 2024 for $425 million from RFR Realty and Tricap, according to Commercial Observer, marking South Florida’s largest hospitality transaction that year.

South Florida residents face another dangerous stretch of heat this week, with the heat index climbing toward 108°F (42°C) in the Miami area as scattered afternoon thunderstorms move through the region. “Feels like” temperatures are expected to reach as high as 108 degrees, while daytime storms help keep conditions just below official heat advisory criteria. Key Takeaways The heat index across metro Miami-Dade and Broward counties is forecast to reach 106 to 108°F, driven by air temperatures in the low 90s combined with heavy humidity. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to hold heat readings just under heat advisory thresholds through early in the workweek. A new plume of Saharan dust arriving by midweek is set to suppress rain and push feel-like conditions into the low triple digits. Forecasters warn that more serious extreme heat concerns are likely to arrive by the end of the workweek and into the weekend.
Miami-Dade County commissioners voted unanimously on June 17 to open the Miami Center for Mental Health and Recovery, a seven-story, 181,000-square-foot facility that had been fully built and certified for occupancy since 2023 but sat empty for years amid disputes over long-term funding. The decision clears the way for a facility designed to divert people with serious mental illness from the county jail into treatment. Key Takeaways The Miami-Dade County Commission voted unanimously on June 17, 2026, to open the Miami Center for Mental Health and Recovery. The seven-story, 181,000-square-foot facility was completed and certified for occupancy in 2023 but sat empty over funding concerns. The center will divert people with serious mental illness from the county jail, the largest psychiatric institution in Florida. The approval added oversight, transparency, and financial-accountability measures to the original plan. Retired Judge Steve Leifman, who spent decades driving the project, received a standing ovation

By Dr. Goodman, DC, and Dr. Bradberry, DC | ReliefNow Laser Charlotte | Charlotte, North Carolina Cervicogenic headache, pain that originates in the cervical spine and refers into the head, is estimated to account for 15 to 18 percent of all chronic headaches according to research in Cephalalgia. For patients in Charlotte, Pineville, Matthews, Ballantyne, and Myers Park who cycle through migraine medications and neurological referrals without lasting relief, identifying and treating the cervical structural source is often the missing piece in their evaluation. Cervicogenic headaches do not respond reliably to migraine medications because their mechanism is structural rather than neurochemical. They originate from cervical facet joint inflammation, disc pathology, and suboccipital muscle tension, which call for structural treatment rather than neurochemical intervention. Dr. Bradberry’s focus on head, neck, and back pain, a core part of his sports medicine work with weekend warriors and Olympic-level athletes, gives him specific clinical
The tension between rapid urban expansion and coastal preservation has reached a critical juncture in South Florida, as local environmental agencies navigate unprecedented climate dynamics. The Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) has officially issued the 2026 Biscayne Bay Report Card, offering a data-driven evaluation of the region’s primary marine ecosystem. Released amidst a record-breaking summer heat wave at the commencement of the Atlantic hurricane season, this annual ecological audit delivers a comprehensive assessment of water quality trends, seagrass density, and localized pollutant runoff levels across twelve distinct marine zones. The document functions as both an environmental baseline and a policy roadmap, providing empirical data that regional compliance officers state will directly influence upcoming municipal zoning revisions and stormwater infrastructure capital allocations. The Stoplight Evaluation Framework and Baseline Ecological Metrics To synthesize complex biochemical data into actionable civic policy, the annual report utilizes an established “stoplight” methodology, categorizing
The turning of the seasons typically inspires people to live healthier, exercise more, and take better care of themselves. Every summer, more people start hitting the gym, picking up vitamins, or finally scheduling that overdue doctor’s appointment. For Hope & Help of Central Florida, the start of summer is also the perfect time to remind people to add “test for HIV” to their health to-do list. “We can improve quality of life for people if we make HIV testing as common as regular dental cleanings,” explains Hope & Help’s CEO, Thresa Giles. Hope & Help is continuing with its mission to dispel myths and lessen the stigma that still surrounds HIV status and HIV testing. Through education about the virus, outreach, and various initiatives, they are helping to make it easier for people to get tested for HIV. Routine Testing And Early Detection Are Key To Reducing Hiv Transmission The
Deck: She lost her hearing at three and a half. Along with it, she lost the first language she had ever spoken. What she never lost was where she came from. Irene Tunanidas grew up in a Greek household in Ohio, where the culture was not something that hung on the wall. It was something the family lived with every day. The food, the faith, the language, the expectation that a person shows up for their people and their people show up for them. Her parents were the kind of Greek-Americans who did not hold their heritage at a distance. They carried it into everything, into how they raised their children, how they practiced their faith, and how they understood their place in the community around them. Then, when Irene was three and a half years old, a medical incident during treatment for whooping cough contributed to her sudden hearing
By William Jones Stay safe while protecting pollinators this summer. As temperatures rise across Miami and South Florida, bee activity becomes more noticeable in neighborhoods, parks, backyards, and outdoor gathering spaces. Summer cookouts, pool parties, flowering gardens, and overflowing trash bins can all attract bees and wasps looking for food and shelter. Local experts say homeowners should stay alert, but not fearful. According to Mega Bee Rescues and Removals, understanding how bees behave can help families avoid stings while also protecting one of the region’s most important pollinators. Honey bees play a major role in South Florida agriculture by helping pollinate crops like avocados, mangoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and watermelons. “Most bees are not aggressive unless they feel threatened. People truly do not realize how focused bees are on pollinating and protecting the hive, not chasing humans,” said Jean Navarro, a licensed beekeeper with Mega Bee Rescues and Removals. “If people
By: UFIRST Art Production As contemporary art audiences increasingly seek emotional depth, authenticity, and immersive experiences rather than purely visual aesthetics, Joe Stublick is part of a generation of artists exploring what modern art can become. Based in New York, Stublick has built a multidisciplinary contemporary practice that works across painting, performance, movement, philosophy, embodiment, and emotional storytelling. What makes his journey distinctive is that his work was never created simply to decorate walls or exist inside traditional gallery systems. From the very beginning, his art evolved as a reflection of transformation itself, personal, emotional, physical, and psychological. Long before international exhibitions, performances, and recognition within the art world, Stublick was already using creativity as a way to process emotion, identity, chaos, and the complicated experience of being human. As he explains himself, art found him long before he fully understood what it was. Drawing and creating visual forms became
A fast-moving Everglades wildfire has burned approximately 11,000 acres just outside the Miami metropolitan area, straddling the line between Miami-Dade and Broward counties and forcing local officials to issue dangerous-smoke warnings for nearby residents. The Max Road Miramar Fire is the most significant blaze of an active and stressful Florida wildfire season, and its proximity to densely populated suburbs has made the response especially urgent. As of Monday afternoon, the Florida Forest Service reported the fire at 50% containment, up sharply from 20% earlier in the day. Containment has improved as firefighting crews continue to work the perimeter, though the size of the burn and conditions on the ground mean the situation remains fluid. What Is Burning and Where The Max Road Miramar Fire is centered in the Everglades west of US-27, in a stretch of wetland and sawgrass terrain that runs along the boundary of Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
Mount Sinai Medical Center has opened the doors of its new Irma and Norman Braman Comprehensive Cancer Center, a five-story, 216,000-square-foot oncology hub on Biscayne Bay that more than triples the hospital’s cancer care capacity and reshapes the cancer care map in South Florida. The facility began receiving patients this week, marking the completion of one of the largest healthcare construction projects in Miami Beach in recent years. The opening positions Miami Beach as a stronger regional hub for oncology care, on a campus already recognized for its cardiovascular and neurological specialty work. For patients across Miami-Dade and the broader South Florida region, it means consolidated access to diagnostics, treatment, research, and supportive services within a single, purpose-built environment. A Facility Built for the Full Arc of Cancer Care The Braman Comprehensive Cancer Center is designed to handle the full continuum of oncology care in one location. Inside the new
South Florida is entering one of its first genuinely hot stretches of the season, with temperatures pushing toward 90 degrees by midweek and dangerous rip current conditions already active along Atlantic beaches from Palm Beach County south through Miami-Dade. Residents and visitors heading to the water this week are being urged to take the warnings seriously — and to plan around a weekend that will bring heat, humidity, and the possibility of showers through Mother’s Day. The Forecast Through the Weekend This Cinco de Mayo is warmer in South Florida, with spotty showers possible Tuesday afternoon. High temperatures will climb into the mid- to upper 80s under mostly sunny skies. On Wednesday, Miami will heat up to around 90 degrees — above the average high temperature of 85 degrees for this time of year. Drier air will move in with high pressure providing mainly dry conditions mid- to late week.
Miami has long been defined by its sun, its beaches, and its tropical climate. But in recent years, the city’s relationship with heat has shifted from a defining lifestyle feature to a serious public health, economic, and infrastructure challenge. Rising temperatures, longer summer seasons, and increasingly humid conditions have prompted local government, businesses, and residents to rethink how the city operates during the hottest months of the year. The result is a citywide adaptation effort that is reshaping everything from outdoor labor practices to architectural design. A City on the Front Line Miami-Dade County is widely recognized as one of the most heat-vulnerable major metropolitan areas in the United States. The combination of high temperatures, persistent humidity, dense urban development, and a large outdoor workforce creates conditions in which heat-related illness can develop quickly. The National Weather Service Miami office has documented a steady increase in the number of days
Glenn Ross, the longtime Denver music photographer behind Glenn Ross Photo, has confirmed he will be on the ground in Miami Beach in December 2027. After more than a decade spent capturing the rawest moments of live music, from intimate club sets to sold-out amphitheater tours, Ross is set to swap stage lights for gallery lights and spend the week immersed in the world’s most influential gathering of contemporary art. For Ross, the trip is part working pilgrimage, part creative reset. As both an art enthusiast and a working photographer, he sees the fair as a rare chance to step outside the rhythm of concert season and document a different kind of energy, one shaped by galleries, collectors, large-scale installations, and the citywide buzz that takes over Miami every December. About Glenn Ross Photo Glenn Ross Photo is a Denver-based photography brand specializing in concert, band, and music photography, with
Kevin Schneider’s story does not introduce itself with noise. It begins in quiet reflection, the kind that builds slowly over years of observation, journaling, and lived experience. In his memoir, One Life One Perspective, Kevin Schneider does not present himself as a figure above his readers. He walks beside them, piecing together meaning from struggle, connection, and survival. One Life One Perspective becomes more than a title. It becomes the lens through which he interprets everything he has endured and everything he continues to understand. A Story Rooted in Honesty What sets Kevin Schneider’s writing apart is the honesty embedded in its foundation. His journey is shaped by deeply personal experiences, including a battle with childhood leukemia that returned and was ultimately overcome. Rather than framing his life through spectacle, he focuses on the relationships that carried him through it. Family becomes central to the narrative, not as background support,
