What surprises me more about Florida's weather, isn't the cold, it's
the heat. I lived in Miami a couple of years, and it would be in the
low nineties almost daily in the summer, or at least it seemed so, but
Miami has *never* reached 100 degrees. That just seems odd to me.

It's the proximity of the ocean. It absorbs an incredible amount of
heat. And in the winter, releases it.

Yeah, I understand that. It's just that it's 91-93 every damn day. You would think that just
once in history, it would hit 100. :-)


Miami gets a sea breeze off the ocean every afternoon in the summer
and the water temperature rarely get above 85 or so.


The humidity has a lot to do with it. The air, and the water in the
air, have to be heated.
