This is my biggest concern moving to the TV. I have owned 2 properties in the past and not something I really want to do at this point in my life. I don't mind the snow, just the gray and lack of sun.
I have never been trapped in our house because of heat. Just wear a hat when you’re in the sun, stay hydrated and hug the shade. And don’t do any too strenuous. Outside work or walks should be done in the early mornings.

To escape the heat just go up into the Georgia/Tennessee mountains. It’s a beautiful part of the world you don’t want to miss.
