It is 92 in the Cincinnati Ohio river valley and it feels like we are breathing water, it is so humid. We only have one fan on our porch here and two in TV.

Plus my buds are down there. I can't wait. Bring on the heat!

[Best Mom]

I agree with nitehawk. Upstate NY has great summer weather.

Here in the Villages it was real hot today but then it rained hard around 6:00. Everybody packed up from Lake Sumter. But it is really nice now. :)

[Mikitv]

In Northeast Arkansas we have been in the 90's with lots of humidity and that makes our heat index in the 100's. I am acclimated and ready for TV.

[benj]

In Colorado it's mid 90's with between 4 and 14% humidity, you cant even sweat. But if you get hot just get to shade and you loose about 20 degrees. Plus it's around 60 at night with a light breeze perfect to sleep in. We finally got to 3" of rain this year yea!!

[garsha]

In northern CA it is 110, humidity around 20. Miserable. Florida can't be any hotter, can it?

[ConeyIsBabe]

I live in southern Oregon, in a valley, and today it was 101 degrees..... that's HOT, but there is very low humidity! Northern CA also has low humidity, as I recall from living in Napa for a year.

Having lived in Miami, Florida for over 40 years, I know it's not the temperature that is unbearable............ it's the humidity !! In Miami it was usually near 100% in the summer, monsoon season. When I visited the Ocala area in the summer, many years ago, the heat plus humidity was also debilitating!

I would also like to know how TVers who live there in the summer cope with the heat/humidity. :dontknow:

[chuckinca]

Drove thru Napa at 6 PM today - 106 degrees and 15% humidity. Unusually hot but not sweaty. However, still a lot of smoke from the fires all around.

We go on vacation - someplace with less humidity

Before we moved I compared the weather daily and during the Summer not much difference between Indianapolis and The Villages. The heat just starts earlier and runs later. Many of my friends back in Indiana during April and May wish that they had stayed here instead of going back North.

I live in The Villages full time and this is my second Summer and I don't regret it. I just got back from some time in Indy and was very bored and couldn't wait to get back to the active life.

Wait what am I doing sitting at this computer. Got to go have a tee time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We lived on Long Island before coming to Florida so we were acquainted with heat and humidity :o but it takes several years to acclimate to the long hot sauna here in Florida
:o however this year I am increasingly able to function in the heat of the day :o
should I be concerned :dontknow:

[JohnN]

nitehawk,
I'm not permanently in Florida yet, but have spent a fair amount of time here.

In summers, I think the mornings and evenings are great, so I spend a lot of time outdoors.
During mid-day, it sure does get hot, and I do indoor things.

[nONIE]

Thanks John, that is what I was hoping for rather then a link to the Weather service. I wanted people to tell me how it actually felt on those hot summer days. Right from the mouths of Villagers.

I do appreciate the weather links also, thanks.

[ConeyIsBabe]

Nonie......... you wanna know how it actually felt living in FL in the summer ? After showering in the morning, getting dressed for work, stepping outside............ you start sweating immediately & it feels like you need another shower.

In the evening.. taking a shower to get all dressed-up for a nite out, stepping outside you start to sweat immediately and absolutely MUST wear something sleeveless or you get icky!

During the daytime.... even the country club swimming pool was too hot to swim in ! Someone mention it feeling like a sauna ........ NO ..... it's more like a steam room.

DEBILITATING !

THE HEAT/HUMIDITY drained every bit of energy from my body and I had to stay indoors or go to the mall for a walk! Sure, I got used to it, but my energy was always low and I couldn't enjoy the outdoors very much from June to October ::)

[swrinfla]

Nonie:

I'm into my 4th summer here, now. Yes, hot and humid, for the most part. But, no worse than what I put up with in St. Louis for 40+ years. In fact, it's usually more comfortable here in the evenings than ever it was in St. Louis. Not really cool, mind you, but the humidity at least seems more bearable!

We almost never had an outdoor gathering up north after, say, mid-June until Labor Day or thereabouts. Here, I can stand the outside almost all summer, at least so long as I'm out of the sun itself!

This is my first summer here in The Villages, afternoon temps in low 90s, an afternoon shower sometimes which will cool temps into the 80s, and my week goes something like this: Monday, Wednesday and Friday I hop into my golf cart and drive over to the wellness center for an hours workout between 10:30 and 11:30. Drive back through Lake Sumter Landing and stop at one of the restaurants there for lunch the home to Duval. There I take my dog out and I put her in the golf cart and take her for a ride to get the mail, then home There I do some things around the house, might hop in thye cart to go to the grocery store. If it's not raining then I go down to Lake Sumter Landing and catch the entertainment. The heat is there but not oppressive while riding in the cart and finding a shady place to listen to the bands. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays I play golf, usually in the early afternoon. Today I went to the Wellness Center as usual and since the rain chance was small I went and did a walk-on to one of the courses and played golf this afternoon. If I can survive in the heat anyone can. There is usually 16 different movies to see every day here also and rec center activities indoors.

[ConeyIsBabe]

DickY...... you make TV Life sound very appealing and I look forward to participating, when my FSBO sells ;D

I will definitely join the wellness center and I love the idea of an indoor swimming pool, so I won't have to bake in the sun 8) If I knew of any Villages that had an outdoor pool with SHADE, I'd move there just for that !!

[Blondie]

I am always cold, and it seems the older I get the colder I get. I even welcome hot flashes. ;D In MD I'm usually comfortable if the temperature is between 85, and 90. I always bring a sweater with me when I go to restaurants b/c the air conditioning is usually jacked up and it's freezing---why do they do that? I'm really looking foward to TV.

[carlent]

we lived in Hollywood Florida and that is South Florida and that is a lot hoter than TV. We just went about our daily routine and did not worry about weather. it is...what it is.....sometimes when you are to focused on it you can let it control your life. Forget it and enjoy the lifestyle. Of course be smart and if it is 100 then stay in AC. But my message is not to focus on it. The winter's in Hollywood were in the 70-80 and sometimes it dipped down to the 40-45 range but it was wonderful. i would guess the TV in the winter is a bit colder tht South Florida.
Just enjoy Life!!
