Many people don't believe in climate change, but, I have lived thru it here in FL.

It is horribly hot for about 4 months even reaching 100 many days with heat index at108.
It is muggy, stormy, and tons of mosquitos. In Central Florida, the lightning reminds me of Michigan storms. It's serious. Unlike S.Florida.
Many plan their day very early so they can be done by 1 ish.
The summer storms do keep you indoors.
The Winters are colder in Central Florida than we expected. 50 or60 in the day with many very windy days. Our 60 is colder because of humidity. And, here, we do have 2 or 3 days in a row with gloom.
We are subtropical. South of Lake Okeechobee is tropical.

Many folks are pretty happy in North Carolina as a suggestion.

Also, we have allergies that are quite bad 9 months of the year as everything blooms.

Keep a watch on Pollen.com

The main zip code is 32162 and 32163.
You are going to be in trouble for speaking the truth
