Yes, it's hot and humid in the summer. Just like it's hot and humid in the DC suburbs where I lived for the majority of my life...

The trick is to get out early, chill inside (or at the pool) mid-day, and then venture out again when it starts to cool off in the evenings...
I totally agree with your assessment that many of Floridians can tolerate the heat and don’t mind living indoors during the prime part of the day. But many don’t and the gentleman from the beautiful state of Michigan won’t know until he has spent a couple of summers here renting, as I suggested.

Summers in Florida and Michigan are not comparable. That dishonest representation doesn’t add “value” to the OP’s decision. Maybe he will love the scorching heat like many do. Then he should sell his northern home and make the move.

There is something for everyone but living full time in Florida isn’t mandatory for happiness.
