What fun is it to stay indoors and run from air conditioned building to air conditioned building for 5 or 6 months? I often think about possibly moving back north, but my spouse likes it here, and I don't want to be selfish. As one of the other responders said, 90 degrees in Ohio doesn't feel nearly as oppressive as 90 degrees in Florida. We could always count on a cold front coming through and cooling us off during the summer. Not so in Florida, where the summer heat and humidity are constant.

I would advise anyone thinking of moving to TV to think about their heat tolerance and love of changing seasons, especially if moving here full time.

Thank you for your honesty. I have a hard time understanding why there are so many Floridians who refuse to admit the heat and humidity is really that intolerable. We lived in FL three times and know they are denying it all which I think is doing a disservice to those thinking of relocating, expecting it to be a paradise where one can play golf and tennis every single day of the year.
