[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than if you are 80, I am not understanding how anyone can deal with FL weather in the summer. It's bad enough in DC in the summer, but FL in the summer feel literally like hell.[/quote]

It's not really worse, just rains more and lasts a little longer. We trade great winters for miserable summers.[/quote]
PP here.. I was in FL in July, and it was horrible.  We were near the water but during the late spring through summer, you may get the great sargassum seaweed covering your beach, which means you wouldn't go to the beach.  That's what happened to us.  It was the worst summer vacation, ever.  I could not imagine living that way for half the year.

I will say, though, that I am finding that people in their 80s are constantly cold, so they want heat.  So, I might consider moving to FL when I'm near 80. But now? I just can't imagine living there.

Also, to the PPs in Orlando, that is central FL.  Yes, there are lakes (some man made) but that is not the same as being on a beach with the ocean breeze.

Wow, we're so lucky to have an occasional tourist here to explain Florida to the people who live there! Thank you!![/quote]
Even luckier for you that there are local reporters to explain to to you:

[quote]Sargassum seaweed is back. On Monday, most people on the beach were staying on the sand, trying to avoid the soggy situation in the water.

“It’s all over the place. We tried to go farther but the farther you get the more seaweed you’re gonna get all over,” said Tana Suarez, another beachgoer.

Besides being a nuisance, some experts said they’re seeing more of the brown algae than usual across the entire Atlantic.

“The month of June in 2022 had a record high sargassum amount compared to any previous year,” said Chuanmin Hu, a professor at USF Optical Oceanography Lab.

June 2022 had a record high sargassum amount compared to any previous year, according to Hu.

The professor is with the University of South Florida’s Optical Oceanography Lab. According to their research reported, over 24 million tons of sargassum were found across the Atlantic in June, compared to 18.8 million tons in May.

Seasonal seaweed is nothing new, as it’s been creeping up since 2011.

Hu said climate change might be at play, as warmer waters could be causing higher algae blooms. Runoff from fertilizers, currents and wind could also play a factor.

Some cities have tried to clean up the seaweed, but it’s expensive and can cause erosion. [/quote]
