Growing up in Central Florida, I can tell you that the secret to the heat is - get used to it! My high school did not have air in most of the buildings, they opened the windows. For many years we used paddle fans and open windows until July 4th, then put the air on because of the noise and left it on till fall. The air stayed on 80. Living in air-conditioning set at 72, and then going out into 95-degree weather isn't even good for you, and the contrast makes it seem even hotter! Yes, it's smart to stay indoors in the middle of the day, but mainly to avoid the radiation. I like it hot, and the humidity is good for my hair and skin. Who needs a sauna when you can sit in traffic?
