I find this interesting because I cannot imagine living in a cold climate. I guess we learn to adapt to our surroundings....that is if we want to and some health problem doesn't stop us.
We do vacation in summer as well as winter but climate doesn't dictate where we will go.

I think it's cool enough early in the morning and then again 6pm.
Plenty of time for golf. Oddly enough biking is comfortable with the breeze a bike makes.
The car has AC as does every building.
Tip: get a big floppy hat

A room with a view would be a nice.

so far 99% of all favorable summer comments are qualified with ......

Thank you! My husband and I are moving to TV this summer because of the snow and cold here is PA. That's why we are moving...for the sun and warmth!

:coolsmiley:[QUOTE=Bjeanj;1203864]We moved down here last May and spent much of the summer (after unpacking) either at the pool or in a/c in our house. I discovered I can tolerate heat & humidity better than snow and cold.

Looking forward to sun and warmth.....��

hottest months for me are August and September. Starts to cool down down around mid October.

Just the reverse of being up north-prisoner of a/c in the summer -last summer was brutal, hope this year is better--

I stay here all year round. The summers are hot as last year, was the hottest.

Plan on drinking 8 to 10 8 oz glasses of water per day, to stay hydrated.

Plan your day to do things first thing in the morning, or later at night. There's always pools or the movies. I usually stay inside when it's the hot part of the afternoon.

All in all, it's a lot better than staying inside all winter long and dealing with snow and ice.

Glass half full, or half empty. it's your choice.

For those fortunate enough to afford two homes and spend their time alternating between the more acceptable climates. God bless.

Isn't it great we all feel differently about summering in The Villages.
It's purely personal, as are most decisions in life.
As Gracie says, "Otherwise we'd all like vanilla icecream".
We decided we'd prefer to have a modest home in The Villages so that we can maintain a summer home in cooler climes.
We miss the free golf though! Although I am already finding it too hot to spend much time on the golf course.

The summers are hot but as my husband says, "you can't shovel hot". So we'd rather be in FL any time of the year, which is better than the 4-5 months of cold, gloom and snow in New England's winters. In the FL summer, as many posters mentioned, you go out early or in the beautiful evenings. We still take our 2 mile walks every day. We golf too, sometimes in the heat of the day, but drink plenty of water and use a cooling towel. The traffic is less, the dinner deals fantastic and the sunsets superb. As mentioned, there are many pools, central air, and verandas at restaurants to take advantage of. Our favorite time at the pool is 4PM.

Vacations can be any time. In winter to avoid TV traffic, or to go farther south to say, the Keys. In the summer you can vacation up north if you prefer, or elsewhere, but TV is nice then too. Just warmer. :smiley:
