Stay in, of course. Or at least, only go from a heated home, to a heated car, to a heated destination. So, flip that 180 degrees. If it's too hot, stay in. Go from your air conditioned home, to an air conditioned car, to an air conditioned destination. And then, in winter, when your friends back north are shoveling snow, you can shake your head and wonder why it took so long to decide to move.

Hi Clawdio, I am also from the Chicago area. I have been able to rent in The Villages a few times in July and August, and I think it is wise for those thinking about being full-time residents to rent for a couple of weeks or as long as you can during the summer months to see if you can deal with a Florida summer.
As for me, I would much rather deal with heat and humidity then the snow and ice of a Chicago winter. As many have said before, you don't have to shovel heat and humidity. Golly gee, it's April 8, today's high temp. will be 38, and Chicago is supposed to get an inch of snow tonight.
Looking forward to the day when I can give away my snow brush and sidewalk ice melter and move to Central Florida.
