I thought that being born and brought up in a place which is routinely ‘hot and humid’, and also having stayed in the area for 6 months or so in summer/fall, it would be easy to go to Florida at this time of the year.

No!

California has spoiled us. It is warm and dry. Not hot and humid. 85 is considered hot. More than 70% humidity is high. Tampa was probably at 95 and 95. Same with Miami. The problem was compounded by the fact that it was always nice and cool inside buildings and in cars. So as soon as you step out, you are drenched in sweat.

Wonder how easy it is to make a move from warm/dry to hot/humid. And vice versa. I’d say that latter is easier.
