Complete opposite here, I'll take the cold. You can always put on another layer but with the heat you can only take so much off before being arrested. 1

My forecast in Florida, and yeah the AC is just humming away... mostly hate the hurricanes that bang around here though, hope we get a break this year.
sherpa Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 The issue in Florida has never been the temperature. Many places have higher temperatures. It is the dew point, which is a measure of moisture in the air, and it is extremely high during the late spring and summer months. Dew points above 63 get uncomfortable, and Florida's dew points are outrageously high. 1

That is brutal. But still better than subzero temps, IMO. Full disclosure .... my dog will be 11-years-old in a month and a half. So, for over 10 years, I've had to walk her 2-3 times/day on a daily basis. The rip-your-face-off windchills have taken their toll on me. Once I no longer NEED to go out into that crap, my stance will likely not be so hard. 1

I don't mind the winter temps in WNY for the most part, upper teen and low 20's are fine with me. If you're talking say Green Bay kind of cold no, no way... they can have it.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 You can always dress for the cold, except in very extreme cases. Once you’re starkers in the heat, there’s not much you can do to keep cool.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 First day of the summer season June 21st is the first day of summer youll love next week being in the 90s 1
Bad Things Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Uh... I hate to break it to you, but it's still considered spring up there until June 21st, when summer actually begins. Our winter season begins next week. Bring it on! 1
Fr. Jerk Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Get out the kitchen if you can't take the heat, ya dig?

Dew points above 63 get uncomfortable, and Florida's dew points are outrageously high. We moved from Sarasota, FL to Atlanta. It was immediately clear the first summer the temps here are higher (often topping 100), but you don’t need gills to breathe. In Sarasota I was in a nighttime doubles tennis league. On warm, humid summer nights it was an unwritten rule that you never put a ball in your pocket. You were soaking wet like you had just climbed out of a pool. Even so, the balls would be wet enough that you could see spray spin off of it at times. It was crazy! Still, I LOVED it! I’d have a couple beers at the bar, then go home and fall in our pool. I’d lay on the float and watch the clouds go by the moon, roll off into the water, and repeat. Then you go into the AC for the night. Those were great times. But I’m sure it’s not for everyone. Trying to get from the car into the office without sweating thru a suit was tricky at times......
RaoulDuke79 Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 I much rather be able to go outside shirtless in bare feet at 2am as opposed to putting 3 layers of clothes and boots on. 1

Last 3 days in the '90s, next 4 days after today all 95+ with humidity...and we got 3 more months of this crap! No freaking sports to watch, reminded every day how fat I am as no sweaters or hoodies to hide behind, watering plants EVERY FREAKING DAY so they don't die, water bills through the yazoo for the lawn....,,, there is just absolutely zero, and I do mean zero, that is redeeming about a Mid Atlantic summer(well, except hot sweaty girls with clingy shirts on the metro). By far the worst 3 months on the calendar just.... get me to freaking September already..Even August and pre season football gives me hope. June and July...urghhhhhhhh RELAX! Look at the bright side, finally you can wear those shorts you like to wear in the winter without people wondering if you bumped your head.......or were you born that way?

My wife hates heat, I hate a full winter of cold (ski trips are great, as long as I don’t have to ski anymore. ?) She went to Newport Beach for work a few weeks ago. She keeps bringing that up as a landing spot. Good thing it’s so cheap.....always something. Too many digits in house prices there. I’ve looked. Weather is super important to me, I’ve learned.

Never fails when that first ‘whammer’ of a lake effect snow dump hits, you’re bound to see the rube at the gas station in sneakers, shorts, and team sweatshirt filling up at the pumps.

Heck, I don’t want to go in the water in New England in JULY!
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Agreed regarding hardy ocean swimmers, but ‘gas station guy’ I usually see on the television news is at the Sunoco at Dingens and Rossler. “Hey, Babcia, throw Stanley out the window his boots!” * The Canadians are also the ones you see flying into BNIA (KBUF) in late February still dressed in their cabana wear from the cruise.
