Edit to add: A person quickly learns to do their outside summer activities in Florida in early morning when the temps are upper 70's or mid-morning when they are mid 80's. Don't wait til afternoon to start your pickleball or tennis game.
But in central Florida you have the humidity and angle of sun. IMO angle of sun feels hotter on my back, neck, side of my face. Although rarely get over 95 to 98 the humidity easily added 10 degrees to that on some of though days. Every 85 can seem hot down here for me.
