August in Florida, I could handle that. Although it has better hotter than you know where in Kentucky, nothing can beat palm trees, sand and the ocean. Have a great time.
I’ve never been to FL in any season but summer! Seems to defeat the purpose otherwise — I can’t see the point of still only feeling lukewarm when it’s minus 10 back home. OK, so it’s an improvement…but only just. (Had a great time, thanks — and well-timed, too, re Isaac.)
@Kate
I take your point about heat belonging with sea, sun, sand, pools and refreshing cocktails (I assume cocktails are part of the formula?). And it must make scorched New England seem cool by comparison. (You are right, New England is no longer the escape from the heat it once was, thanks to global warming…)
Also, there’s something to be said for going to a place in the off-season: less crowded and better rates.
The only thing is, is it humid down there? Humidity is the real killer on the East Coast (which is why I have nostalgia for summers in the UK!).
Yes, it’s humid. The cocktails help, though.
