This post is from a couple years ago, but I am writing this for those of you still searching the weather difference between the Carolinas and Florida.
Is NC just as humid as FL? Yes and no, it depends on where you live. I lived in a small town outside of Raleigh, NC and I absolutely can say it is humid and the heat takes your breath away. I've lived in 3 major cities in Fl (Orlando, Tampa, & Jacksonville) and none of them have been as bad as Raleigh during the summertime. Grant it, Fl will feel hot in the direct sun, but ifyou stay in the shade in the summer months there are many days that are peaceful. It is hot everywhre in the summertime. In Jacksonville we had constant ocean breezes which is something we never had in NC. There were some days that went to 98 to 100 degrees in NC and it felt like it took my breath away. I felt more comfortable in Fl by far.
Also, in NC you better be prepared to enjoy cold weather because it can get down right cold from mid-Oct.-April (off and on--you might have some warm days sprinkled in). I moved from FL to NC, and then decided eventually to go back to FL again for the weather. I love the weather here.

Needless to say the humidity has been hard to adjust to and actually keeps my indoors for at least 3 months. This past summer I almost went crazy and got pretty depressed by the heat and humidity. Florida is a beautiful, green and wet state. Love the warm waters and all the green but I do miss very much so seeing mountains.
We drove into Asheville area a few years ago to visit brother in law in Tennessee, loved it in Asheville and particularly in Black mountain. However it was summer time and we did experience the same humidity level and heat that we do in Florida. In that same road trip we went from Tennessee into the Carolinas and all the way to Florida.
I hear people say that the humidity is not as bad in North Carolina as it is in Florida.
Would love to hear from people who have actually lived in one or both places preferably that could give their perspectives of that.
We have to babies. I have written about this before but not just about the humidity. I know it may seem silly and also please add that too. Do you get used to it?
Anything else you could add about your experience and preference would be great. Really trying to gather more info, as much as possible.
Also our 2 year old son has Down syndrome if anyone has any idea of services for Ds or special needs in North Carolina.
Thanks and God Bless!!!
