Hello, Central Floridian here. Let me tell how. 1. We don't go to the theme parks. It's nothing but concrete and cement everywhere. 2. We go from our air conditioned house, to our air conditioned car, to our place of work or stores that are all air conditioned.
As Floridians we're just used to it. We know its muserably hot and adapt out lives to get through it. On the other hand we don't understand how people can live in Alaska. They have places where the sun doesn't rise for months and temps so cold if you pour water out of a cup it freezes before it hits the ground. And they say we're crazy!
I moved here to Florida over 40 years ago from Chicago. I live near Orlando. All my children went 1:52 to schools here. All of my grandsons were born here. You will never hear me complaining about the heat. I’ll always take the heat over the cold, wet, and snow I experience there. Plus you get used to the heat and you know how to prepare yourself. And I just love it here.
Does anyone else think it's waaaaaaaay hotter for this time of year here or is it just me? It felt like 98° outside at 10 this morning to my ass!!! And wicks forgot to tell him about the heat AFTER the rain!😂😂
Yes, I agree, Bobbi! We were cool for a lot longer, and then all of a sudden, we're in the mid-90s with almost no warm up period. And mid-90s is not May weather, it's August weather!
@@coloraturaElise thaaaaaank you!!! I was really starting to wonder if I was truly old enough to accept early menopause the way this heat has been kicking my ass from the time I get up in the morning ( usually 5:30-6 A.M) until I get to go to bed (130-230 A M) and I'm normally a puss but this is waaaay different to me!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been castigated for giving away the whole "gill" secret in another post so all I'll say here is ... Have a cooler with ice in your trunk when out and about. Keep a couple bandanas in the ice water and use as needed to apply to the back of neck and face. Having a cold rag on your neck is one of the fastest ways to cool off. Always wear light colors. Soak a long-sleeved shirt in water. Soak your hat in water. What do you mean, "I don't wear hats" Oh, son... you are in for an uncomfortable summer. 🐊😎🐊
"I don't know if you've ever stood on the sun...🤣" I was just in Orlando this past weekend, with 95 as the high, the humidity at 2,098%, and the heat index at around 147°F. As a Floridian, I survived, but all my clothes were definitely soaked with sweat. We adapt, we deal, we survive...we are FLORIDIANS. ✌️🤟
I grew up in the no A/C Florida. I work, sit and spend most of the day outside. It’s nice when it’s in the 90’s. I can’t stay in the sun for long but the heat and humidity is a breeze. Love it
When my Command received orders. That we were going to Desert Storm. When we hit the ground and everyone was complaining about the heat. As a born and raised Gulf Coast Floridian(Pcola). I told everyone that ya'll have never spent the summer at your Grandma's house. And the only air came from the box fan in the window. Also, we used to stick our face in the freezer to catch a cold front before we went back outside.
@@elainemarie3205 SWFL gal here, totally agree with the 3 months of walking on the sun! Also in my home we tell ppl if ya want to come visit expect this thing called "the air you can wear"! Ian scared this crap out of my visiting family!!
My family is from Illinois. We moved to Florida years ago. My son adapted to the heat & humidity pretty quickly. My son says he has dragon blood or demon blood in his veins. He does get hot but he can withstand the heat better than most Floridains.
Those mornings where it drizzled just enough so when the sun heats up we all get time in the steam room. Good times. Would want to give it up. Love my Florida
Lived in Florida for about 5 years. Clearwater and Sebastian. It's hot and humid....but it's still a great place. I'll mess around and come back when I retire.
Having lived all over Florida, I can say Orlando is mild. Try visiting one of the towns on the south side of Lake Okeechobee in what is affectionately known as the Glades.
My cardiologist told me NOT to bike ride in the middle of the day, but I LOVE the heat, did so anyway and twice got overheated and had to be assisted by some passersby...(my middle name is "Stupid") 🤣
Born and raised in Ft Lauderdale, currently living in north Florida, and I can tell you this: it’s hotter here most days than in Orlando of South Florida, as we don’t get sea breezes up here, and I am DYING year round!
This past week in Florida was in the high 90s and low 100s; today, I had use my electric couch throw to sit outside. You NEVER know, when you open your door and step outside, what it will be like from hour to hour. And that is NOT a complaint! In WI, there are months where going outside means putting on every item of clothing in your closet. We spent all those months staying indoors . . . which is what may happen here in late summer. But it hasn't yet!
We get a few Florida days in Indiana. I'm glad it's only a few times a year when the humidity is near 100% and the temperature is no lower than 90F/ 32C all night long.
Meanwhile, in January in Minnesota it’s freaking cold and you spend most of your days indoors, but the heat turned up full blast and dreaming of a warm getaway to Southwest Florida!
Or you can come up here to North Alabama or pretty much Tennessee where it can get down to -5° during the winter and then 110°with 90% humidity during the summer
Ha ha 🤣🤣😂😂. I'm a Long haul truck driver. And no body can tell me about FLORIDA HEAT 😡😡😡. A Full tank of Fuel Windows up AC own wide open. Don't go outside for nothing. Bring your own Water Drinks. Because if you open the Door. You don't have AC No More. Real Talk 101 !!!!
I personally prefer the heat and humidity. I need it. It keeps my skin soft and my nasal passages from becoming gushers of blood. I work in construction and don't get ac all day the majority of the time, and I wear a long sleeve cotton shirt and pants every day. If it's below 70, I need a jacket and a beanie. I love that hot wet blanket weather!
Central Floridian here: this isnt even summer 😂😂😂😂 this is still spring. We where light colors in the daytime and dont go to theme parks when its 100 plus degrees. Plus when electricity goes out during hurricane season we are used to it
I'm one of Wicks' neighbors. A/C has done had it's 6 month check up. All I can say right now is bring on the rain! SWFL is dealing with serious drought. My grass is so brown, it looks like sand! Quote from my wonderful wife - I'll never understand why fat people and old people want to live in one of the hottest and most oppressive states in the country. And we're both fat and old. 😅
Yeah, well Florida's averages are much higher than they were 40 years ago. Top that off with the ever growing cookie cutter neighborhoods with no trees and our ability to pave everything before building a parking garage. It's only getting hotter.
North Florida here , Jax FL to be exact and I was born and raised here also and it feels like to me over the years the summers keep getting hotter and hotter so like Mr. Wicks said if you can't take the heat, stay out the kitchen 😂🥵😮💨🔥🌞🌞
Born and raised in Florida and worked outside damn near all my life I can tell you that I look like an aging pirate now that I'm nearing 50 years. I'd have to say that much of the times my bosses were sympathetic and gave us heat bonuses as well as siestas. Though never really been political in my life about things it would be great to put Desantis' desk on the front lawn this summer just so he knows the suck of it.
Born and raised in FL, with no AC til recently...stay in the shade, buy every fan you can afford and sit directly in front of them, wet your hair frequently so your brain doesn't fry, go swimming (even in a cow trough if there's nothing else), and save your $$ to buy an AC, asap. Pray for nightfall...still hot, but nothing like the sun cooked daylight hours. Real talk.
Here is a suggestion. Get your clothes wet and go in a very cold area. Your clothes will get really chilly after a while. Then go out in the heat. Your clothes will stay cool for a while providing a sort of heat shield while keeping you from getting too overheated. When it gets too hot for you then rinse and repeat. That is how I have dealt with some of the hottest days when I felt like a lobster cooking in an empty pan. Thank goodness for the water barrier trick or else I would have had heat stroke for sure.
For one thing I do actual physical activity early in the morning. Usually as soon as the sun comes up. By noon I am in the house and the blinds are drawn and the AC on.
Been here since I was 10 in 1980. You get used to it but thank God for AC in cars and homes. In the 80s they had no AC on the buses and my school didn't have the AC either it sucked
Simple answer is the ac. However as a kid growing up i feel like we just got used to it as an everyday ain't gunna slow us down thing. I was in Sarasota btw.
NOLa. born!... Went to Navy bootcamp (in winter). Arrive home at MSY (in the terminal closest to the taxi stand). & Walk out of the A/C into an unbreathable wall of aerosolized 110ºF "Air"(water)!
SC girl here and right now Im doing all my outdoor stuff now so its done by the worst of summer. Im also cursed because I love all things fall and Halloween but we do not get fall temps until Halloween. So im decorating my house in late August with swamp ass going on. And I do this so I don't have to deal with snow and 6 months of cold.

No one lives in Florida. We all live in Air Conditioning.
IF AC had never been invented Florida would still be mostly uninhabited swamp land.
I'm stealing that shit, you'll never see it again.
That was BRILLIANT. 👌😎👍
Born and raised in Ft Lauderdale, May is just a tease for the big time Summer! You think its hot now, just wait! 😂
Ft. Lauderdale here. Agreed.
Palm Bay here, absolutely, the oven is just starting to warm up.

Exactly
My friends from South Dakota come and visit in May. He swears we live in Satans nut sack🤣🤣🤣

Hello, Central Floridian here. Let me tell how.
1. We don't go to the theme parks. It's nothing but concrete and cement everywhere.
2. We go from our air conditioned house, to our air conditioned car, to our place of work or stores that are all air conditioned.
Yep, you will not catch a single Floridian in a theme park in July-September, or really anywhere outdoors except early morning and late evening.
@@conduit64 Exception: Water Parks

Depends on the park. Ever been to sea world during the summer heat? I thought not..
@nathan3252 yup, had a season pass, it also sucked

While I've never walked on the sun, I HAVE crossed a Publix parking lot in July. I'm pretty sure it's the same temperature both places 😂!
😂😂😂😂❤
As a Floridian, I get all my outside chores done before 9 am. in the summer.
❤🔥 Floridians use the summers as free Sauna Baths…like we really have any choice!🔥🤣🔥🔥
Born and raised in s.w. Florida. Work in construction. People always ask how did I get used to the heat. I say when I do I'll let you know.
Omg! I live in Florida, too! Love the analogy! The heat is coming! Love affair with my AC begins 😂🥵

Nothing but true FACTS born and raised 💯 Floridan so what this gentleman tells you about Florida it's big ole facts 💯 😉🙏🏻❤️🇺🇲❤️🙏🏽
Yea this sucks today but it’s nothing compared to 2 months from now! # Facts
I've been castigated for giving away the whole "gill" secret in another post so all I'll say here is ...
Have a cooler with ice in your trunk when out and about.
Keep a couple bandanas in the ice water and use as needed to apply to the back of neck and face.
Having a cold rag on your neck is one of the fastest ways to cool off.
Always wear light colors.
Soak a long-sleeved shirt in water.
Soak your hat in water.
What do you mean, "I don't wear hats"
Oh, son... you are in for an uncomfortable summer.

As a Floridan of 60 years.. You full of it yankee...we jump in the water
These are all tricks for Arizona as well! Wet bandanas are wonderful!

I worked as a commercial fisherman and also a roofer when I lived in Florida. For roofing we worked at night under flood lights to combat the heat

Only have to change my shirt twice a day now.

It takes at least 10 years to adjust 😅
By the end of the first year you'll feel the heat less....and each year gets better.
I love it when you work in ac all day then the double doors open and you're hit with a thick wall of humidity
SW Florida here too! Living on the surface of the sun, all my life
Bro said Florida is preheating right now 😂😂😂
It’s like being in a hot oven trying to breathe through a soaking wet towel. 😊
worst part of roofing in Florida is that summer is our busy season.... July-September pays well but man that roof sucks.
