Florida’s summer halfway mark brings above-average heat and patchy rainfall

Forecasters note that the sporadic rain has not been enough to ease ongoing drought conditions, and meteorologists have outlined what it would take to meaningfully reduce the dryness. Safety officials are also raising concerns about this stretch of the year, which they describe as the most dangerous period for teen drivers.
