As humans, we have the great ability to adapt and that is what we do. Yea, it’s hot and humid in FL but we deal with it. However, I’ve spent some time in New Orleans for Coast Guard stuff and that place is brutal. Makes FL feel like the desert.

Meteorology is my wheelhouse I would welcome/enjoy a discussion. You can PM if you’d like cuz I think most here, or most anywhere, would find the subject quite boring. Brings a smile to my face that we have at least one person, other than me, that has an interest in this stuff.

And yes, when the humidity was 100% the temp WAS 90 degs. I still have some of the data for The Villages, FL:

7/28/2015 15:25:37
temp 88
humidity 100
precip 0
pressure 29.83
H-I 117

8/20/2015 15:58:23
temp 90
humidity 100
precip 0
pressure 29.88
H-I 122

Why would we go anywhere? This is the greatest place on earth. I love it here in the summer.

Pfew! -- So glad to hear this. I was starting to worry a little that summer may be so brutal that we would regret moving to TV. But we sure have our hot, dog days in NY as well as the brutal wind chill days that are unbearable. Just make sure the HVAC's systems are operating.

Do you folks need to heat your homes in the winter months?

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that you may get all sweated up going to the end of the driveway for the newspaper. But that just reminds you of why this is called the sunshine state.

Oh but there is a lovely breeze AND:

I learned how to drive my car with just two fingers

The seat belts also doubles as a branding iron

Publix has run out of talcum powder

I got cabin fever in August

The only up side is the air temperature has been reduced due to the rain making the air slightly more tolerable. Your above data is an exception rather than the rule. I too have enjoyed our discussion and I defer to your education since I was an Earth Science Teacher in Florida and not a meteorologist. I found Tucson at 100 to be far more tolerable than Jacksonville at 90 but Vegas at 116 exceeded anything I've experienced in a lifetime in Florida. Our new car almost overheated on the Hoover Dam and when I opened the windows because I had to turn off the AC it was like getting hit in the face by a blow dryer. Lets just agree both place are hot as heck in the summer.
