1) Anywhere in the lower 48 is sunnier than the Puget Sound region so that argument doesn't hold.
2) I've never heard anyone talk about Orlando flooding so not sure where you are even getting that from. Coastal locations like Miami yes but Orlando? Nope.
That's precisely what I said, I said Orlando very rarely floods. Technically everywhere, even Phoenix, floods, but it's localized and very occasional.
And I believe that many people here automatically assume that Orlando has major flooding because it's located in Florida and Florida is the state of massive flooding. This misconception would lead them to choose Tacoma. I bet you that the number one reason people are scared of weather in Florida isn't the humidity, it's the hurricanes and associated flooding.
It's the hot humidity for those from the Western half of the country.
73F and humid and I'm starting to feel like it's too much, breaking sweat and have to go indoors to the A/C.
And we're talking about average high being 92F and super-humid.
Give me this weather without A/C and I'll wish for hurricane to come soon.
Average low 74F and humid, after 92F humid day... this means 24-hours near A/C.

Maybe it's just you. I was born and raised in Greater LA and prefer heat and humidity to the June gloom LA gets every year. If you can't stand 73 and humid it means you are spoiled weatherwise. 95 and super humid is paradise for a guy stuck in Upstate New York during a winter blizzard.

Gloom in LA? You mean Los Angeles or Louisiana?
I never seen any day of gloom in Los Angeles... in these latitudes it just never gets to be gloomy.
Like I said give me this Orlando weather in summer, disconnect the A/C and I'll wish for hurricane or at least flood to kill me fast, so that I don't suffer.

Los Angeles. June gloom is a defining feature of late Spring in Los Angeles. Anyone who has found themselves on a LA beach in May or June will know about June Gloom.

I lived in LA, but not by the beach, more inland, and definitely no gloom...I guess you meant some fogginess or light clouds by the beach? I found that's no real gloom but rather a nice cooldown feature compared to inland, and especially compared to brutal gloom of Western WA, which nearly finished me off back when I tried to live there. It was nice to go down to cooler beach to escape heat and hot sun inland.
By the way, 20 years ago I did spend a year, including whole summer without A/C on the Gulf coast, where temps and humidity are about the same as in Orlando...for some reason, back then I could at least tolerate it (though people were dying during heat waves and they had air-conditioned shelters open for those without A/C). And now well, if it's 73F and humid and I can't even sit or walk outside comfortably....got to be in a dry climate.

The first time I went to Florida I legitimately had difficulty breathing due to the heat and humidity...never felt anything like it before.
