Many of the native central Floridians I have known over the last 40 years leave for the summer. Some families have homes they have owned for generations in the mountains of North Carolina. Others own motorhomes and frequent various northern destinations.
Hot and humid is very different than hot and dry. Please try it before you buy it. Visit in August.
Twenty plus years ago my son lived in Mesa, AZ. One year they experienced 186 consecutive days of temperatures exceeding 100 degrees fahrenheit. I remember that at times it was too hot for planes to take off and land at PHX.
A couple I know in Mesa have a summer home in Idaho to escape the summer heat.
I think in both communities it is the length of the hot period of the year that is draining. Many northern regions may get as hot or hotter but not for as long.
