Im on the exact opposite side near cocoa beach and it really feels like the heat has been more and more oppressive. The heat indexes plus what feels like a constant whiplash between drought conditions and flooding conditions has been brutal.
Part of that might be that I'm over 40 now. I have to mow the lawn in shifts, its just too brutal otherwise.

I've got a spiel about FL having 6-8 seasons and none of them are fall, winter or spring.
Summer: The 13th month is the worst.
Not-Summer: Best 13 minutes of the year.
Hurricane season: Better than summer up to a Cat 2 or so.
Drought season: Begins 15 min after the last rainfall.
Wildfire season: At least it cuts down on the sun.
Doldrums: Period between summer and not summer of no weather at all.
I'll have to work in flooding somewhere. Also red tide. Not oil spill tho, no recurrence since the last one.

Our winters are warmer by the decade. I experienced teens in the 1990s. Now we're lucky to get below 40. Yard ghosts (sheets on bushes) were on/off thing all winter long. Now increasingly uncommon; we get years in a row with none at all.
