Today it is 93 degrees with a "feels like" of 106.  Thanks to Willis Carrier, I'm sitting in air conditioned comfort at my chosen temperature of 77. He came up with AC in 1902.

It was very hot outside, on the road with the sun on asphalt, it was 98 degrees.  Thanks to Frederick McKinley Jones, my car is air conditioned also.  He came up with the idea in 1937.

It was bad enough living up north, many of us could not exist in FL without cooling.

 I would rather put on an extra layer for the cold weather than deal with the extreme heat and humidity.
 

I don't spend a lot of time outside here in summer.  Inside, it is as comfy as I want.  My cost to keep cool in the heat is far less than what I spent to keep warm in winter in CT.
