「まい～のように」の情報
In a similar way to のように, まい～のように states that something is happening 'in the manner/way of (A)'. まい means 'every' (coming from the kanji 毎), and will always be followed by (A). (A) being a word that expresses some kind of measurement (usually time).
まい～のように is often translated as 'almost every (A)', 'nearly every (A)', or 'on an (A) basis'.
Because よう (from the kanji 様) usually expresses the 'manner' in which something is existing/happening, this phrase literally highlights that something occurs 'in the manner of every (A)', and is therefore up to the interpretation of the listener as to whether the speaker means 'every', or 'almost every'.
Caution
Although みたいに and のように are regularly interchangeable, that is not the case with まい～のように. This is because みたいだ is originally an abbreviation of the more formal phrase を見たような, and therefore can sound unnatural when used to describe things that cannot be seen, like time.

ほぼ is an adverb that means “almost”.
I don’t think there’s a grammar point for it but there is a vocabulary item.
