I am just a first time summer Florida resident, and we still have many months of hot weather to come, but I like it so far. Imagine having TV mostly to yourself. It is so peaceful here without the crowds.
We awake early to get our walk in before breakfast. A 15 minute cart ride with the windshield down cools us off quickly. Then it is time for a shower and breakfast with the Daily Sun. Sometimes we stay in the A/C, and sometimes we go back out for golf, or for a swim. Evenings are lovely. Sunsets are fantastic. Market Square is relaxed and uncrowded. Restaurant specials for drinks and meals are very attractive. We like to go for a cart ride at dusk and marvel at the complex cloud patterns and colors in the sky.
Gatorade, shade, and a breeze are good bets for keeping from getting overheated.
Don't forget to wear a wide brimmed hat and strong sunscreen!
Being from Maine we are used to harsh weather conditions for several months of the year. In Maine it was cold and snow. In Florida it is heat and humidity.
At least here you can go outside without layer upon layer of clothing and big heavy boots.
