The popular Calle Ocho district and surrounding neighborhoods are preparing for the seasonal heat wave that’s becoming typical for this time of year.
Local businesses along Southwest 8th Street are taking extra precautions to keep customers comfortable during the hot and humid conditions. Many restaurants and cafes are extending their air conditioning hours and offering more cold beverages and frozen treats to help visitors and residents beat the heat.
