Summer vs Fall

[FL Knifemaker]

I dunno man. For about 2 weeks straight the high never dropped below 99 degrees and the heat index was over 115 degrees every day. At night it never got below 80 degrees and with the heat index the temp felt like it was still in the mid to upper 90s. Add to that 60%+ humidity all day, every day, and I find it hard to believe Florida is worse at all. I even lived in Florida every summer over a period of 3 years for 3 months at a time and I can't think of a single instance where the weather was worse there than it is in Memphis. At least in Florida you get a fairly constant breeze and a rain shower almost every day.

We usually stick right at 93-94 degrees all summer, sometimes it might push higher 90's for a few days at a time. The difference is, we start out almost every day at 90% humidity. 50 inches of rain per year and almost every summer afternoon makes it a steam bath.

Thats what I noticed when visiting Florida (Tampa, Fort Myers & the Keys), it felt like you could cut the air it was so thick.
