Leave FL if you don't like the heat.

There are worse things in life.

I feel sorry for all the miserable, unhappy people out there. Wish my biggest issue or concern was heat.
Thank you! I thought the same thing when I read this post!

Another discussion about the weather. I think it has been said on this forum a thousand times, but Florida doesn't have the "massive" heat that some of you think it has. Check out DC in the summer, Baltimore, Phoenix, and scores of other cities.

You don't know hot until you've lived and worked in many parts of Arizona, with Metro Phoenix the undisputed sweatbox of the USA. And don't buy that local BS spin that it's "a dry heat". The heat here is more than just uncomfortable it's actually dangerous and people die every year from heat exposure. The yokels here brag that Arizona has no natural disasters (ie. fires,quakes,floods, etc), to which I reply: Of course you do!..about six a year..they're called May,June,July.August,September and October.

We love the 9 months of summer but get tired of the humidity... I can take the long months of heat but the humidity does get to you. We love the warm summer nights though....sitting by the pool in our screened in lanai, playing music, having happy hour. I'd rather be living this lifestyle in my shorts and flip-flops than shoveling snow and ice or waiting for the short summer months in PA to kick in. Summer months on the whole east coast can be just as humid and sticky just as well. Up there, you get days and days of rain which can ruin quite a few weekends. So, I'd take the 9 months of summer here over the 3 months of summer up there... any time.

Florida is what it is, you know what you're signing up to when you move here. You make the best of it by working indoors in the air conditioning and having access to a pool or a beach... there are plenty around. It's the BEST weather for pools, swimming and all water sports in general!

SO TRUE! I lived in Bakersfield, CA for 4 LONG YEARS. It would be 110-114 some days. When people would say... "but it's a dry heat"!!!! My reply... "turn on your oven and jump in". I don't care if it is dry or not! It's freaking blazing!

I KNOW!

Even if he WEREN'T exaggerating, and it WERE a 9 month summer, that's what you'd expect consider IT'S FLORIDA!

Honestly get over it, NG. Heat is Florida. We know. Just stop. It doesn't seem logical to move to NC. Granted summer is shorter in NC but it's still a pretty warm climate overall.
