I've been okay with the 90-95 lately, but it hasn't been all on humid yet.

You really never know which way this weather will hit you until you go thru it yourself. My wife struggled a little last summer, we landed here June 12th. I didn't struggle at all because I learned to manage my day and drink an enormous amount of water. If you're going to use the pool get some sunblock that you're comfortable with and use it properly. The sun here will rip the hide off you and the reflection off the water makes it even rougher and the burn happens quickly. The electric bill is hardly a concern, I believe you will be pleased at your summer bills. The kind people of The Villages were apologizing for the severity of the heat last summer, how nice was that. I see your post's and I think you will make it here thru the entire summer unscathed. I'm betting on The Dude. Peace Out!
