What are the summers like in The Villages?

Usually high in the 90s but almost always a steady breeze. Humidity is usually not too bad. Even though I'm from up north, I quickly adapted to the summer heat. And I play golf in the early afternoon.

Summers are my favorite time in the villages. Everything is green, lush, and typical. The flowers are all blooming. It is hot. but many times not any hotter than up north. Our heat just last longer - May thru Sepember.
The evenings are wonderful with a breeze. And not as many renters or seasonal visitors so not as much traffic with good seats and prices at the resturants. I love summers in The Villages

Very hot and humid...70-80% chance of strong to severe storms everyday, usually every afternoon, late.

Sometimes cooler than New York.

yes severe thunderstorms almost every day. Our house was hit by lightening 8 days after we moved in. That was in May. Cannot believe we are here almost a year. Best year of our lives!!!!!

Having lived in South Fla I was surprised that central Fla climate is beautiful in the mornings and breezy in the evenings. The middle of the day can be extremely hot and humid then we have a brief thunderstorm (they can be awe inspiring) and it cools down. We never fail to be surprised in the Summer when the evenings turn cool; my husband ALWAYS comments that it's somewhat like the desert, hot during the day and cooler and breezy in the evenings. The humidity can be high but not as high as living on the shore during the doldrums. The most amazing thing about Fla is the light which makes everything appear crisp and crystal clear. We do no play golf mid day in the Summer but my neighbors do.

When you are standing in the sun, think of yourself as that ant you were frying as a kid with the magnifying glass

Summers are great to be at the Pool,Movies,Happy Hour, Shopping, early golf or just relazing. But no mater how hot I don't have to shovel it so bring it on. I found it better then summers on Long Island,

Great for the beach!!!

Much better than the summers where most of us are from. You do get used to the summer temp difference from up north.

Last year and the year before TN had more days over 90 than there were in TV!!!

The summers are hot, with powerful and dramatic thundering storms almost every day and deliciously not crowded. I love it here in the summer.

Our friends play games indoors and go out to dinner and swim and catch up on crafts and reading and cards and sit on our front porch in the evenings playing first liar has the best chance and eating ice cream and caravan down to 466A to the PeachWave..

I do a lot of my art in the summer.

Funny, and true. Summers are brutally hot in central Florida.
