  • Mild temps: standard shamble speed
  • Hazy: watch your flanks
  • Rain muffles footsteps (theirs, not yours)

Today's undead advice: Wet ground holds no tracks. Assume they are close.

Rule #6 Never trust dark water If you can't see the bottom, assume hands and mouths. Twelve inches of flood moves a car. all the Rules of Survival →

🌡 The weather here, in general

Fort Lauderdale barely has a winter. The warmest month (July) averages 87°F and the coldest nights still sit around 62°F, a span of only 25 degrees. The year here is measured in humidity and storms rather than temperature.

The thermometer rarely spikes — only about 10 days a year top 90°F — but it hardly needs to. Summer sits in the mid-eighties for months at a stretch, and with humidity on top of it the heat index runs well above what the air temperature suggests.

It is a wet place: about 69 inches of precipitation a year, peaking in September. Drainage and flash flooding deserve more attention here than in most of the country.
