4. Because it’s so hot, you can’t spend too much time outside
More great news!
Besides the heat and the humidity, you will also face swarms of mosquitoe, biting flies (those can be a BIG pain in the neck), and fire ants. Of course, you can always just go to the beach and enjoy the water, just as long as you don’t encounter the red tide.
The red tide will keep you from taking a relaxing swim. In addition, it will also kill some fish which will add a VERY nasty smell to the beach.
What can we say?… Enjoy!

No thank you. I have problems where I live now in Tennessee, but those sound much worse.
I have another reason not to move there and his name is Ron De Santis
I love it.
Been to FL three times in Motorhome in the Winter. Bugs were terrible. Very expensive.
I lived in Florida for 60 years & finally escaped to North Carolina after retirement. Everything mentioned in article is absolutely true. The primary reason for my departure was the unbearable heat & humidity which seemed to bother me more as I aged.
So very glad I don’t live there anymore.
This article is so biased I can’t believe a word. My pool costs me about $20 a month and is a bargain. No bugs, fewer wierdos than any other state, cleaner, spacier, and hot; yes, but certainly bearable. Better value, better governance, and I carry no house insurance. I self insure, and after 10 years, am far ahead. I may get caught, but can afford it. Tennis, golf year round. What’s not to like. Leo Pfeiffer leopfeiffer@aol.com
I’ve lived in Florida for the last thirty years , and I wouldn’t live anywhere else . I’m originally from Buffalo NY and would never go back to live there .
