Is it something that you get used to?
WHAT do you do in the summertime in Florida, stay inside and not move?
HELP:-(

I'm still a wannabee myself but I have been in Florida during the times when people say it's too hot to be outside. I like the warm weather and personally, it hasn't bothered me.

I think it is pretty bad in the northeast when it gets close to 100 degrees with a 100% humidity. I find that to be oppressive to the point where one has to stay in air conditioning all the time.

The previous threads I have read, some people would stay in air conditioning when it's at the hot part of the day but the mornings and nights are much better. Everyone is different and needs to do what is best for themselves.

IMHO - I don't see a difference if one has to stay in a/c part of the day in the summer months or indoors during the winter months so as to not freeze their fannys off.

One needs to be concious of staying hydrated. To each his/her own.
