A swampy spot in the grass with white birds grazing in it. Skin-clinging humidity, random downpours, heat indexes in triple figures, steamy nights. Welcome to Miami North.

The heat advisory for the entire region has been extended to 8 p.m. Saturday, with more random showers likely. As to when something resembling comfort returns to Philly?
