Traffic is down and the pool is just the right temperature.
GOLF CARTS ! Everything is made tolerable by Golf Carts.

Gracie's post is correct, and virtually everything you might do throughout the day, other than going to the nightly free entertainment at the three town squares, is indoors, and air conditioned.

Simply avoid the extremely strenuous sports activities or other physical exercise outdoors during the hottest part of the day, as you probably do where you live now.

If you are going out in the "heat of the day," use a Golf Cart to go wherever you are going. It's more refreshing than driving a car with the windows down because the breeze swirls around your entire body. Wear shorts, the breeze is even better.

If it is really hot, you can fold down the top half of the Golf Cart windshield. Cool!

There is no place in the property that is actually The Villages that you cannot access by Golf Cart. (Get a gas powered one to avoid concerns about dying batteries far from home.)

Other posts have mentioned dogs. Dogs love to ride in Golf Carts.

How to enjoy The Villages?

GOLF CARTS. GOLF CARTS. GOLF CARTS.
