"In Orlando, highs have been above 80 for all but three days this month.
The average high this time of the month is 79.

"January was one of the coldest months on record; now it looks like the
shoe's on the other foot," said David Zierden, assistant state
climatologist at Florida State University's climate center.

If the trend holds, March will be the warmest month in Central Florida
since 1974, the year the National Weather Service started keeping more
accurate records, Zierden said."

"The scorching South Florida sun saw players dropping like flies in the
first round of the Nasdaq-100 Open in Miami.

French teen prodigy Richard Gasquet quit his first round match in the third
set with a heat-related headache.

Meilen Tu won a midday marathon and then left the stadium on a stretcher
with heat exhaustion."
