This week has been in the 90's and just as hot as it was last year at this time. But, the difference is that the heat no longer bothers me. My body has adjusted! All this week, I have spent the whole day out doors and feel just fine.
So, it appears to me that while the first hot season may bother you, that your body will soon adjust and the following summers will feel just fine to you. It is lovely here in The Villages in the summer. You'll see. I've always said that summers in The Villages are Florida's best kept secret.Don't hesitate. Retire here.

We HAVE had a fair number of days recently in the 90s and they have been tolerable, to a point. The main reason is that the humidity has been very low. I don't mind these conditions and I still play golf as long as there isn't much humidity. Unfortunately, this comfortable weather will soon be a thing of the past.....for us, at least, and so will our golf. I find that early mornings here in the summer are very humid and late afternoons are brutally hot until the sun sets. A summer shower may cool us off for a few minutes but as soon as the sun comes out again we are right back into the mid-upper 90s with 98% humidity. Riding in the golf cart in these conditions becomes unbearable and I find myself longing for a breath of cool Maine air! We have lived here for nearly 13 years and our tolerance of temperatures in the upper 90s in the summer has not improved. The big culprit is the high humidity which is unrelenting, day after day. I do realize that some folks tolerate the heat and humidity better than we do. I envy them! Whether or not one loves it here in the summer is an individual thing. I think you have to give it a few summers to see how it goes.
