I have had it with heat and humidity. Which is why when I relocated after a divorce a decade ago, I decided not to live where I needed a/c in the summer. I now live in Santa Fe, NM.

Also, you can dress for the cold. The only way to dress for the heat is to wear an air conditioned car.

And depending on where in Florida you are, you'll be forced out by sea level rise sooner than you know.
