Hot
 

"I couldn't live in Florida" they say". "Too hot" they say. "Uninhabitable in the summer" they say.

That's Smithville, Missouri

76 Degrees and 60% RH here in my screen room in the Adirondacks right now. And "I"say Florda's to hot for me - so is Smithville Missouri and Bangladesh if that matters.

We is nice and cool in IL. NOT
But I love it.

A friend posted on FB and it's 103 in MPLS area today!

I remember those kind of temps there in the three years I lived there before coming here.

Yowza! :22yikes:

Here's the thing. The temps and humidity in central Florida are consistently high throughout the late spring to early fall period. However, they are not quite as high as in several other places in the U.S. On numerous occasions. The temps, and humidity may be somewhat higher on a constant basis in TV and environs, but not as high as the extremes in other places such as here in Missouri. It is not unusual for us in the KC area to get a week or two above 100 degrees, while those highs seldom occur in TV. Plus, our humidity is just as high as there. So I believe the fear of unliveable conditions in TV in the summer are highly overstated. I will test my theory in August this summer and I hope to give you a balanced report at that time. Ed

sorry duplicate post.

If you moved from room a to room b in the sauna you are still in the sauna. What is the value of the comparison - of course you will love the place you just invested your life savings in. No doubt in my mind. Next sentence - we stay in in AC during the day like you northerners do in the winter. Ha winterlude, Ice castles, ice harvesting, bonfire picnics etc. No we did not stay inside the house.

State Average Summer Temperatures :

Tied 1st and 2nd place for the hottest states are Texas and Louisiana. Third hottest state is Florida.

The Chesapeake Bay in Virginia is perfect!

BUTTTTT...this is the reason a lot of us live here. :D

There is another way of looking at this ..... it's not a case of whether it is too hot here or too cold there, it's the style of life available here in TV.

So some of us like this lifestyle and some of us like the other lifestyle - live and let live.

I live in the MPLS area and yes it was 103 degrees yesterday and may continue to be so today.

The difference is that we know this does not last 6 months as it does in FL. No, there is no point in denying this; we lived in FL three times and KNOW what it is like and that Floridians have a hard time admitting to this. But they do not mind bragging about it in the winter.

Half Moon Bay in California is perfect. Louisiana and Florida are worst. Klamath Falls in Oregon is bad - too cold in winter with heavy wet snow and too hot in summers which are so short that planting annuals is futile.

If I could pick just one place to live in, it would have NC springs, VT falls, CA (northern coastal) summers, and FL winters - all combined into one place.
