[VillagesFlorida]

I am in my 14th year here in The Villages and I still do not like the high heat and humidity from June through September. Some folks have stated that they got used to sweating and didn't mind it as time went on. Not so for me! I think I DO tolerate the heat better than when I first moved down here but I spend no time in it when temps go into the 90s and so does the percentage of humidity. The pools are a great place to be in the summer if you want to go outside and be comfortable. We do not play golf here through the summer months. I wish I COULD enjoy this unrelenting heat all summer, but I think it would have happened by now for me! The other big weather change here all summer are the thunderstorms that we can get quite often. You learn to plan golf and other outside activities that you like, earlier in the day. In fact I do errands early so I can be off the roads when bad weather threatens, usually after lunch. Rain can be torrential and it is no picnic driving in it. We never leave the house during these months without unplugging our electronics if we are going to be gone longer than the time it would take to get back to do that. We know of too many people who have lost expensive appliances, computers and TVs, etc. because they didn't think they had to unplug them.
