It doesn't get "hot" in TV low 90's is warm but not hot. Humidity is no worse than in many other areas. I think the weather is very tolerable here.

We live here year round and I wondered how we were going to tolerate the heat. At first, it was a bit tough but after the first summer here we got used to it. (This is only our second year here). Now, I prefer the summers. We have a pool so a lot of time is spent there. The house is air conditioned, the stores are air conditioned. You get out in the morning and get your errands done and after 11:00 or so you spend time in the pool or the air conditioning. We got used to the heat and played golf or what ever activity we wanted in the heat of the day. Everyone is different, so do what works for you. Sometimes, I would just do things inside if the heat was too much. Your body will tell you what to do.

Love to golf in the afternoon in the summer. The ball goes a long way.

Sorry to tell you this but after 16 yrs. (in Tampa) I haven't ever
gotten used to Summer here.

Wish I could be a snowbird!

I think many people's initial experience with Florida is a trip in the wintertime when it's a brisk -20 in Syracuse, NY and lovely in Florida. They then form their opinion about how pleasant the year-round weather is based on that experience. If you're thinking of living here year-round, it would be good for you to come back in the middle of summer and experience a week BEFORE you buy into TV. You may come to a completely different decision. We find the summer heat here absolutely intolerable. To us, June, July & August around here is the mirror opposite of January, February & March in Nome, Alaska. So we do the same thing that you'd do in Nome. Close the doors but instead of turning on the heat we turn on the AC and stay inside as much as possible. Others find the heat bearable, and some even find it enjoyable, but not for us.

We are from New Hampshire and just went through our first summer this year. We loved it! No crowds, no lines, and quiet and peace filled our days. We did 7 AM walking or pickle ball, Water aerobics at 9:30 AM, lunch at noon, and swimming and socializing at the pool in the afternoon. We ate dinner out anywhere we pleased without a reservation. Of course this has been our experience. You may not like this low key lifestyle. If everyone agreed with us and stayed here over the summer it wouldn't be idyllic anymore.

close to a native Floridian. We probably stay out of the heat like northerners stay out of the cold: inside.
