Thanks but no thanks. :) I looked at the Punta Gorda (closest station to you) humidity readings are 85-95 percent almost all day long. Even in the middle of the night it doesn't get below 50%. And it doesn't cool off at night either. Outside right now it's quite pleasant at 9pm.

I don't need air conditioning most of the time.

What I really wanted to get across with the message is the abnormally low, even for us, humidity readings. Normal summer around here is more like 20%. These single digits happen only rarely when it gets up close to 100.

You need to come to Florida to cool off! 88 degrees today. 70’s at night. Well, yeah, some humidity, but that’s why they invented air conditioners! And few hurricanes until September when I’ll be outta here.

According to official botanical designation I live in a shrub-steppe environment.

Yesterday it was 96 degrees with 9% humidity. Overnight temperature was 52.
Today it was 99 degrees with 8% humidity. Tonight is forecast to be 57 degrees with 11mph wind.

I can't imagine being in these temperatures with humidity. As it is, I'm perfectly comfortable under my two fans.
