9. The heat can be oppressive.

I'll take cold temperatures any day to this torching hot 90 degrees plus, for days, even weeks on end. Temperatures do not cool down much at night, either. If it is 95 degrees during the day, it might get down to 82, after the sun goes down.

There is rarely even the faintest breeze, and atmospheric moisture makes it muggy.

I can dress to go outside in the cold. I have a hard time in the summer.

Summer here, seems to last from April to November. I need refrigeration in this weather. I have SAD in reverse, I get depressed in the warm weather. I'm energized by the cooler seasons.

Everyone is different though. I'm glad you were able to make a move to a climate more livable for you.
