I don't like it for weeks at a time like we see every winter now. I like CHANGE make it cold, warm it up bring 4" of rain and back to cold every few days.

The Polar Vortex is coming soon to bring temps back down!

Out and about today in shorts and a t-shirt, and still got swamp***** from all the humidity.

I'm sorry folks, but mid 80's and high humidity absolutely sucks this time of year. Like the sentiment of a previous poster, we are not talking about wearing snow shoes and living in the tundra, but a few solid weeks or months of sweater/jacket weather sure would be nice. It's pleasant to wear jeans and long sleeves, but there just isn't a whole lot of opportunity for that without getting all sweaty and less than fresh.

I know, I know, I-75 and I-95 both travel north....heading up one of them permanently seems more and more tempting every year here.

Just gonna get more and more hot here over the years. Within 30 years the ramp up in heating will be unreal and we will see 90's year around.

Cold air is refreshing , light and clean feeing. It’s great when you can open up all the windows for fresh air. Hot air on the other hand makes you feel soggy and dirty like you need to shower all the time. You can be strip naked and still sweating. There’s a time for everything. Heat isn’t so bad in the summer just not in the winter.

Temps in the low 80s during the day this time of the year for Fl are the norm, great weather by the way, thats why we live here and not in a frozen tundra.

Prosperous 2019 Folks.

80's this time of year is not the norm. Normal high is 71 in Tampa.

Agreed. I feel less and less like I belong with Florida people. My body just does not do heat. And people here love it.

Love Florida but muggy 81 with a realfeel of 90 (which it was yesterday) is not my bag.

Outside of Florida, many people love having cooler winter weather.
