The humidity is other worldly. The closest way to approximate it is to take a steaming hot shower and then get dressed. Don't dry off first. I always had 2 or 3 extra shirts.
The humidity is only part of it, though... The overall heat is oppressive. They average 95 degrees for over 6 months of the year, with something like 70 inches of rain. When we moved to California, I couldn't get over the temperature swing in any given day in SoCal. I froze. My teeth chattered. Although I grew up in one of the coldest parts of the country, I got used to the Florida heat after 15 years. I thought we landed in Alaska by mistake. In Florida, it might be 90 by 6:30 in the morning, with 90% humidity. It will still be 90 when you go to bed at night and you'll run the AC non-stop for 300+ days per year. You have to... When Charlie hit, we were without power for close to two weeks. The temperature in the house was enough to make the metal spring in the thermostat wrap around inside the box. 130? 150? It was enough to cook the fish in the fish tank... If you turn the AC off, you won't leave any food out... No bread drawer. No cereal in anything other than sealed Tupperware. That's also good practice with the bugs... I went outside one morning to find a 6 foot anthill built agains the side of our house overnight. You'll also never walk barefoot in the grass... As numerous as the gators are, the fire ants are worse.
Sandwiched between two large warm bodies of water, with no land features, daily thunderstorms at 4:00 in the afternoon are normal in the summer months. We always knew when it was coming because it was hard enough to block out the signal to our satellite dish. One of the biggest money makers for Disney is the yellow Mickey Mouse rain poncho. They sell thousands in the parks daily in the summer. Usually around 4:00...
.....this is HUGE change, more importantly we’d be leaving our kiddos, IF we go...IF!
we’ll keep our homes here, no reason to sell if we’re coming back.
We have hills!
