This is the best way to experience Florida.

I've enjoyed this spring like no other I can remember in Florida. It hasn't seemed hot or humid to me, yet. We've spent every minute we could and eaten most of our meals outdoors for the past 2 months. I told DH today that I must be getting 'OLD and COLD" LOL!!!

I would be dying in that heat. Enjoy the cool mountain air in NC or NE Tennessee! We wont need central ac until maybe June Its also alot healthier for your skin-

You know growing up in Miami, it wasn't as hot as it has been the last 3 years. The last few years it has just gotten warmer and warmer. To the point we had 26 days in December this year that we spent above 80 degrees, when it is this warm, it just doesn't help to put you in the Holiday spirit. I remember as a kind in Miami seeing icicles at least 3 times a year, I am lucky if it stays at 50 for two days in a row now a days. I am trying to move, but my better half can't move that easily...

Hope you enjoy the mountains but don't expect low humidity! I just checked a climate website for June - August and Asheville, NC actually has higher humidity levels than Orlando. You can compare averages here:

October is beautiful in NC & TN!

I'll take 3 months of worse humidity over 6 months of humidity in florida any day.

Yeah, that was really the last straw for me..... It'd been hot for the first 7 or 8 years I was there and it was expected, don't get me wrong I'm not stupid.... Something about the last 4 or 5 years has been simply BRUTAL as far as the heat.....

Hehehe - I already spent last summer in Asheville, and while a little humid is is NOTHING and I mean NOTHING like Florida - the high altitude makes the air much lighter and more pleasant. I understand that other areas of NC are much more humid. Also, hardly any mosquitoes! At least compared to Florida. Yup, I will think of y'all as I sit up on my deck on the evenings which cool down into the 50's and 60's even in August!

Late October for the next cool breeze!?! LOL.... I do not mean to make fun but the first "cool breeze" (which will be a 10 degrees cooler type thing) will be sometime in November.

We are getting some particles from the brushfires too. Not a lot... thank God.

The air has been already muggy and miserable since the begining of April this year, with a few "cold fronts" to cool things down.

It was 74 this morning (May 1, 2007) and the humidity.... well it was at the normal 100%. I stepped outside and began to feel my long sleeves catching some of the morning moisture in the air. I start to sweat if I stay out longer than 1 minute, even in the morning. At night it is miraculously still cool.

I am only shopping at night, but I feel the "impending doom of the 9-month oppressive heat" approaching. I know that from this day forth, it is officially summer in Florida and the earliest sign of relief will be in November. Until after Christmas day, it will be 80 degrees in the morning with 100% humidity, of course, 90 - 95 daily until 8pm with 100% humidity, and 80 at night with that "lovely" steam which rises from the ground with all the humidity and heat.

Breathing is hard, people cough a lot, kids with asthma gasp for air. Homeless people will die, northern people pass out on the wheel and cause an accident, and the elderly without A/C will die as well.

Boy, am I looking forwards to be out of Central FL in just two weeks.... awww.
