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.
Summer Temps in The Villages (TV) range mostly between the Mid-80's to Mid-90's in the afternoon. The humidity in TV is typically much lower than along the coast, so these temps are tolerable. My wife and I typically golf in the afternoon during the summer because it's easy to get a Tee-Time, but we select courses with plenty of shade to keep things comfortable.
