We are Missouri/Floridians so we spend the winter in TV and go back to Missouri before Easter. Kansas City summers actually get hotter, periodically, than TV. We will get 100+ degree temps with high humidity for a few weeks. The difference is, in TV there is very rarely a break. Mid nineties every day for months on end. In KC we will get an occasional day in the low eighties or even seventies. Another difference is in KC we often endure draught conditions in the summer whereas in TV in August (we’ve never been there in July) it rains for fifteen minutes or so virtually every afternoon. For several years now we have spent August and September in TV, and love it. The whole vibe of the place is different with less traffic, easier restaurant seating, more tee times, easy seating at the Squares, and simply a less frenetic pace. We do have our own pool so that makes it even better and is a motivator for getting there in the summer. See you in August!
