You have to come from Texas to really appreciate a Florida summer. Is my favorite? No, I like the shoulder seasons best, when the snowbirds aren't here, but it's still in the 70's. It really doesn't start hitting the 90's regularly until July, and unlike Texas, it starts to cool off around labor day, so there's plenty of gorgeous weather to enjoy without the crowds. But even Summer is tolerable. It would never even occur to me to play golf in August in Houston. Here, there is always a breeze to control the humidity, and most days there's an afternoon shower to cool things off. I can't remember a 100 degree day in the four years we've been here. Back in Oklahoma where I grew up, it starts hitting 100 in June and by August it's a daily occurrence.
Weather-wise, this place is a close to paradise as any place I've lived since my hippy days, living in a tent in Big Sur.
