Having grown up in Bradenton, which is even warmer than Tampa, I understand the heat. However, your statement about 100% humidity and 100 degrees is not possible. If it were everyone would be dead after being outside for even a short amount of time. Further 100 degree days are rare in that part of Florida, in fact I believe that TPA has never measured 100 or above. The key to happiness is that area of the country, IMO, is to enjoy the water and the wildlife.

Yea, being a little dramatic about the temp, I apologize. It's 90F during the day on average: https://www.usclimatedata.com/climate/tampa/florida/united-s... The humidity makes it a different heat.

I'm talking relative humidity with the percentage, which is typically what weather reports. It averages over 90% for most summer months: https://climatecenter.fsu.edu/products-services/data/other-n...

Totally agree on the happiness part!
