Average highs and lows don't really give you the feel for how hot it is here...it's the HUMIDITY.Lets be honest...it's fine to like the heat here...but let's be real...May - Oct. there are two types of weather...hot as hell and hotter then hell and I don't need Klystron Nine to tell me that!!

I agree. People can quote "average and median" temperatures from all the charts they want, but it cannot beat actually living in a place day after day, month after month, and year after year.

Plus, as I have CONSTANTLY said, there is a major difference between North and South Florida. I have lived in BOTH places and have lived on a daily basis with the differences, not some CHART.

I am a native Floridian and would be perfectly content to have 80 & 90 degree temps ALL year round. Can't stand the cold and if it's sweltering on Christmas that is just fine by me. It's why I live here and love it here.

I cleaned this thread up. Keep it about Tampa weather ONLY. You don't have to like it the heat or the cold in Tampa but you do have to be polite to others. Do not hijack this thread by bickering back and forth..

WDW is quite busy on Christmas Day with lots of northerners coming down to enjoy an escape from winter.
I lived in Gainesville in 1971. It regularly got into the 40s, sometimes 30s, at night. We put the heat on at night, just like up North. The days in November and December were in the 60s or low 70s.

I went that year to Bradenton to BF's parents house for Thanksgiving. They asked me if I wanted to go to the beach. The temperature that day was in the 50s!!!!!!!! Um, just because I am from up North, that doesn't make me a Polar Bear like those people who swim in the winter in Coney Island! I have never gone swimming with the air temp in the 50s! That is wetsuit time, even for me when I was in my 20s.

i did not move here to "escape brutal winters" (user8)

i moved here to live closer to family and reduce my cost of living

the weather is a side benefit

like i said, highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s is all i am asking for

did you hear me, God?
