Maybe part of the reason it seems colder is because we here in Florida don't wear the warmer clothing worn in cooler parts of the country. There are times when the temps are low and the humidity is also low....the body perceives the temp to be much cooler than it is. When we lived in So CA, we had friends who call the Arizona desert home for years. They then moved to the CA coastline where it can be foggy, damp and have much cooler temps than even a few miles inland. They froze their butts off, finally deciding that they had to move more inland. They lived for many years just down the street from us, but for a few of those years, they found even our climate conditions to be so much more cold than it actually was. Temps in the 100's most of the summer make even 75 seem cold.
