To experience Florida in August is to taste of the fires of hell. Actually I think that might be why people retire here, they look at it as purgatory, or training...
In all seriousness though, I went into the hall to change the doorknob for my mom and I sweat through my shirt. I had to change. It was a doorknob!!! Looking at me though you would have thought it was a construction site.
It really is just too hot here. Just to give you an idea, We have the air on high, I have the windows closed and draped to keep light out, I have no electronics on in my room except for the laptop and the ceiling fan, I have turned off the lights and I am sitting right in front of the vent for the central air... I am still hot!!! I can not wait to get to Seattle. I might have to wear a parka for a few days as I adjust to 80 degree weather but oh well. As they say "You can always put on clothes but you can only get so naked." Even our pool is hot. I tried going in for relief the other day and it was not pleasant. The pool felt like it was heated.
The only good thing I could say about this heat is that since the cockroaches like heat they tend to not move into the house as much so we are spared their attacks, at least for the most part.
Between the humidity and the heat Miami is a like locking yourself in a sauna and they realizing you left the keys outside. Do not visit in the Summer and least of all August. Come in the winter when it is livable.
