Which do you think would feel hotter in summer? (climate, warm, temperatures)

[ABrandNewWorld]

To go with deneb's poll about which climate feels colder in winter, let's do one about summer, which do you think would feel hotter in summer? Both have similar daily means but very different summer climates.

Don't pick the climate YOU would prefer but the one you THINK would feel hotter in summer overall (July and August since June is still rather considered spring in Redding).

A) Redding, California:

Much hotter daytime highs but cooler daytime lows with generally low humidity

B) Fort Lauderdale, Florida,

Tighter diurnal range, far more humid, lots of thunderstorms

edit: I did another poll comparing the valley of Los Angeles to Washington D.C but that was about which would be more manageable without A.C //www.city-data.com/forum/weath...-summer-l.html

Redding would feel hotter. I imagine coastal Florida being very windy, which would take the edge off the heat index.

But dewpoints in the 70s vs dewpoints around 50 is a HUGE difference in how it feels, plus means are higher in FL due to warmer nights

Fort Lauderdale because of higher humidity.

Ridiculous post. You clearly have never been to coastal Florida....like ever.


Anyways, a "breeze" doesn't do anything when it's 32 C with a 24 C dew point. Why do people love to exaggerate the "breeze" here? Usually people who haven't came here at all are the ones who go on about the "breeze"....

Fort Lauderdale, because it's hotter and more humid. Redding has warmer high temperatures, but the heat indices in Fort Lauderdale shouldn't be far off from those numbers.

Fort Lauderdale has hotter daily mean temperatures in the summer; good indication it feels hotter, too overall. Add in the higher dewpoints.

I've been to Tampa, and Cape Canaveral. It was breezy quite a lot.

Definitely Fort Lauterdale would feel nastier, with the humidity, high minima, and sun angle (I mistakenly voted for Redding though, thinking it was asking which one I'd prefer to live in during summer).

Fort Lauderdale would feel worse.
