I haven't been in TV during the summer long enough to know what is typical. However, having been here for the last 4 weeks, up until this past Saturday I was saying this is really nice. Yes, it was a bit warm during the day, but nothing oppressive and the humidity levels seemed quite low. Mornings and evenings were truly great. I was extremely happy with the climate down here.
Then Saturday hit. I must admit that for the last few days I found it very uncomfortable to be outside. Perhaps my newbie, Northeast wimp factor is showing, but I refused to go to Home Depot to buy some small palms, etc, for our lanai. Just the thought of lifting them and bags of potting soil into and out of the car and then potting them was too much. Even the evenings remained hot and muggy. I went out onto the lanai at 11:30 PM and it felt very uncomfortable.
On the encouraging side, apparently this weather is not the norm since it has been a fairly major topic on the local TV channels. I'm hoping that we revert to the weather of the previous several weeks. I do get a chuckle out of the weather forecasts down here, though. When they speak of cold fronts moving in, they mean low 90's!
