Difference in temp inland?

Phoenix, AZ. It will be 105 today.

I do understand Florida will be hot. But five months of triple digit temps with no cloud cover, little rain, and no evening cool down is brutal. I'm ready for a change!

I know when I went to visit Charlotte, North Carolina in August it was way more stifling than Brevard was. Not a breeze in sight and 100+ degree! Plus we have the ocean here to play in Good luck on your move. I hope it goes smooth.

I remember visiting Arizona some years back and the temps got above 110 in the shade. It was brutal. But after about three days of it, I got used to it. Yes it was hot, but dry heat has a different feeling. Last summer, we stayed a week in Cocoa Beach and Merritt Island and the temp hit 97 in the shade. It was in August, with minimal breeze and I sat by the pool at the hotel. After about an hour I gave up. My body could not handle the heat and humidity. Even the pool was warm. Traveling doing errands was awful. AC in the car to immediate sweat to walk into a cold store then back out again and repeat. No one wanted to do errands. It was stay inside time. After a week, I realized the major diiference. That humitidity was awful in the summer. We vacation every year down here and due to the school and work schedules, it's always in July or August. My absolute least favorite time to visit Florida. I prefer the dry hotter desert heat myself, if I had to pick. But the rest of the year, central Florida is amazing.

Maybe a 2 to 4 degree diff from my place as i live on the gulf. But i get much more humid air with lows around 82 and and very little rain thanks to a never ending reverse west windflow during the summer. Air heats up and drys out in inland areas compared to where i live on the gulf.

I spent a long time in Hollywood, FL, three miles away from the beach. In summer it was hot, day OR night and we used to joke that you could barely tell the difference between day and night if your eyes were closed. Contrast that to Cocoa, 11 miles from the beach, where most nights in the summer we get a great breeze and you can sleep with your windows open deep into May.
I work in Orlando (directly west of Cocoa) now and in the deep summer it gets hotter than the inside of a cow, and is just as humid. There are times when I have to take a bite of air and chew it before I can breathe it.
Just a few data points

I'm from Hollywood too and judging from the beach distance, pretty close to one another! What neighborhood were you in? I was close to Memorial Hospital off of Park Road..

I agree regarding the breeze aspect and think it's attributed to stronger wind influences as I think I recall hearing the Bahamas off the shore of SE Florida interrupt cross-Atlantic wind patterns versus further north.

Boy, I am glad we chose to move to Melbourne instead of Boca Raton area, if that is true about the Bahamas interrupting the Atlantic wind patterns. We are between 4 and 5 miles from the beach and I love the breeze here. We'll see if that continues for our first​ official summer here...��

[mpafr012]

Mk_buster, yes the see breeze will continue through the summer. Some days it will be stronger than other days but it will be there.

[whatever]

Pretty close to your old place, actually. We lived east of 95, a little south of the library circle. If it weren't for the section 8 housing towards the end where the road was blocked off that would have a been a perfect little neighborhood.
