Trish,
Welcome! Yes, the typical June-Aug. in Florida is hot and humid. I'm used to it without even the breeze in ATL, but it could well be quite and adjustment for you.

However, here are some tradeoffs:
  • Nine months of the year the typical weather is delightful.
  • Like much of Florida, TV's population drops considerably in the summer. This is great for those who stay. Nothing is crowded. You can eat at a country club for the regular cost of a meal at McDonalds. Golf is inexpensive and it's easy to get tee times. Stores have bargains galore.
  • In TV, there are plenty of indoor activities and plenty of outdoor pools.
  • TV is beautiful all year round. You won't find a friendlier or funner place to spend your "retirement" years.
Bring sunscreen!
