Come east. From around Philly, down through Baltimore, and DC, and keep going south. I deal with the heat and humidity every summer, and it is not easy to deal with. Your ass is always sweaty, and the high sun angle along with suburban sprawl, cars everywhere makes it even hotter. Completely horrible time of year. It can easily be the same temperature in Baltimore with the same humidity level as in Miami in July. People that aren't from the east coast or have not lived here underestimate the intense heat and humidity in the Summer.
Last winter was rare, but later in the winter it was mild. I always chuckle at the cold crowd. Oooh my p*ss is cold. If your dressed properly it's not cold.
You just can't escape the heat with clothing. Columbia Silverridge Shorts, white t's, and keen sandals, and I am still hot, and I have to take a shower as soon as I get in the house. (You notice, I hate summer )
