My first summer, I thought, "How can people live down here with the relentless heat and humidity". My second summer, I thought, "It's hot, but no big deal ... so what if I sweat a bit (or a lot), I'll just drink more water (or beer)."

The days here are remarkably similar - usually about 91-93 every day - not the 98 - 104 type temperatures that the North received last summer. The thing that takes getting used to is the relentless nature of those 90 degree days. Once they start, they go on for months.

My favorite time down here is the fall (October/November) when the weather has broken a bit but the snowbirds have not yet arrived in full force. My second favorite time is the summer.
