Horse feathers. One need merely look at the flora and fauna and there is a profound difference between DC and Florida.

It can be miserable here, hazy, hot and humid, but it is short lived compared to Florida.

Ahhhh Florida!
I have lived in Florida most of my life and in MD for a little over 5 years. The summers in MD are as hot or hotter than Florida, but summer lasts longer in FLorida and the bugs hang out much of the year. The late Fall through early Spring in Florida is the best. Many days are in the mid 70's without a cloud in the sky. A summer home somewhere cooler might be nice. No state taxes either.:yahoo:

Actually, when it comes to southern Florida, IE. the Keys, the Beave is partially right. It's much worse in the northern states than it is there in the Summer.

I know I had to tell my children when we moved down to Florida that the ants down here are "mean" they are not our friends. I had to tell them that because they made friends with the sugar ants in MD, and they had never met a mean ant up there. ALL the ants down here are mean. At least I have yet to meet a nice one.

We have mean weeds too! I can't seem to get rid of the stupid stinging nettles!!!:cds: The first time I came across those weeds I was grabbing a nice thick patch of green grass to feed my horse. I thought I was bitten by a snake! :cds:I soon found out that it was that horrible stinging nettle.

I'm hoping that's sarcasm? If it's not sarcasm, you're wrong.

It is always humid. You won't really get that static shock crap that you get elsewhere since it's never dry.

Yes, June...July....and August are terrible times to go to DIsney World, but it is still hotter up there in the summer because almost everyday in the summer around 4 PM down here comes a thunderstorm that last for about an hour and then the sunshine comes back and the temperatures are nice. Up there it continues to be blasted hot all day until night.

I see you are a Gator fan, but how long did you live in Florida? It is not always humid. In fact in the winter it is extremely nice. There are many days in Maryland that are a lot hotter than here, the season just doesn't last as long and there are a lot less thunderstorms up there.

Andy, WTH are you talking about?

I lived in Clay County, FL (the next county to the west of Jacksonville) from Dec. 1998 - Mar. 2004 and it is NOT hotter here in the summer (overall) than it was there. On top of that, the hot summer weather there lasts a LOT longer than it does here. This area may well rival that area in the dog days of our summer with it's humidity, but you are dead wrong that it gets hotter here & much more humid. It probably depends on just where you are in Fl about how hot it gets. Ocean breezes can be very cooling, but those are only on the coasts, not necessarily inland.

23 years. I lived in South Florida, then went to Gainesville which is as inland as you get in FL, making it hotter in the summer. It can be ok in the winter humidity-wise, but it's not dry.

I haven't noticed any particularly hot days in MD, at least compared to what I'm used to. The average seems to be a few degrees higher in FL (thanks BoyGenious), it's more humid, but the rain does offer a reprieve when it rolls through.
