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.

billsfan5121 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I tend to believe the grass is always greener. I also live in the mid-Atlantic, a little south of DC. In the winter, I always tell my wife “if I complain about the heat this summer, remind me of today.” In the summer, I say “if I complain about the cold, remind me of today.” Basically, I think everyone in the mid-Atlantic love Fall and Spring. We are just warm enough of a climate that 30 degrees sucks, and we are far enough south that 90 degree days with high humidity dominate the weather from late May to early September. We have such huge extremes. At this point, I think I’d prefer living somewhere where the weather doesn’t fluctuate as much, regardless of temperature. Like Florida. Is it hot, I guess (I truly believe June-August is hotter in VA), but it is nice not knowing what 30 degrees feels like (southern Florida especially). San Diego I think has little fluctuation if you can afford to live there and don’t mind wild fires and 10:00 Bills games Sunday mornings (perhaps the main reason I won’t move West).

sherpa Posted May 27, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
