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.
Absolute temperature in Florida means absolutely nothing. The temperature in degrees combines with the high humidity plus the stronger sun in Florida to make it feel HOTTER than ANYTHING experienced up-north.
