We have been in Florida for almost 4 years coming from Ohio.
IF you are wanting to do anything outside during the day from late May till October you must get used to sweating and most of the time ALOT. Any small task you will sweat. It doesn't matter if you feel the humidity it is there. Once you start doing anything you will sweat. A normal 90 degree day yes you experience it up north but it does not compare to 90 degrees here at all. The sun is more intense here and even if you don't feel the humidity when you step outside in 5 minutes you will feel it. It the peak of Summer you will feel the humidity instantly. You will run your car AC probably 350 days of the year. You learn to do activities early in the morning or after the sun goes down like biking or walking. It takes some getting used to and I get hot very easily. You learn to cope with it and do things around weather if it is all possible. When I mow the yard I try to pick a day when the temps are lower and if it is a cloudy day which helps. If you think at all it may not be for you you should plan a trip in July or August for a week in Florida and plan to be outdoors to see if you can handle it. AC IS your friend and most people are inside during the hot part of the day. However, you ARE in Florida so everyone tends to be more active here than up North.
