If you don't live in the Southeast, you don't know what hot is.

There's hot, then there is Georgia HOT. My pool is warm and even the
well water isn't that cold right now. Was thinking of fabricating a styrofoam cooler and coiling the pump water hose to the pool through it filled with ice.

Indeed. Several months ago, I was on a trip that took me through the desert SW. Although the temperature was hotter there, at least you
could escape the Sun by getting in the shade (*if* you could find any).
In the SE, even in the shade you cannot escape the humidity.

Hehe yeah good idea. Some people have "heated" pools, you need a "cooled" pool. I hear ya. I think Georgia Hot is the same as FloridaPanhandle Hot... ;-)

I can definitely agree with that. Granted, here in WI between Saturday and today it was in the upper 90s, with the heat index up around 105. So sure, it has been pretty hot.
However, we went to the Orlando area in June last year for volleyball nationals when it was 105F all week with like 80% humidity. Fuck that, you can keep that shit.
We, along with other team parents, were sitting under a canopy at the resort at around midnight having some drinks, still complaining about the heat. No sun, yet still sweating through our shirts.
Then, the year before that we went to Peoria, AZ in June for vacation. Also 105F all week. Sure, when you were in the sun you felt like there was a torch pointed at you, but at least in the shade it was managable, and even dare I say enjoyable. (hardly any humidity at all). Evenings and nights were wonderful, too.
I can definitely tell the difference between the southwest and southeast. Yet here in WI, we get some of the best of both of those worlds, including Canada (it was 3 days, and now the rest of the week will be around 80F), where we can get down to -30F and lower in the winter. :(

Do you think that's similar to Arizona hot? Several years ago, I went to
Arizona a few times for work, and in April, the temperature was already getting up to the mid-90s. I've heard actual summers in Arizona are pretty hot (often above 100-110+), where they recommend you stay inside and not go outside for extended lengths of time. I don't think that's the kind of weather I'd want to live in..
No, it's far more "hot feeling" here because of the humidity. A huge difference between 100 degress here compared to the SW desert areas. There's a thing called the "Heat Index" which takes into account the amplifying effect of humidity on how hot it actually feels to a person.
I've found that when I'm in that (Southwest) area for any length of time (even a week), my sinuses get all dried out, my skin gets dry, and it's very easy to get dehydrated. I don't like that very much. Here in Florida I've gotten fairly adjusted to the humidity and although it feels hotter, it's more comfortable in some ways. No doubt that the summers can be challenging in that regard, although there's a pool or a beach not far away. ;-) Honestly it's no worse than enduring a long cold winter for half the year (which I have also done for years at a time). I prefer the warmth.

You got that right. It's pretty bad down here in the Florida panhandle already, and not even Aug/Sep yet...

Does that make you a Florida panhandler? :D

Wow that is indeed extra hot for up that way!
Yea it can be brutal at times. I've lived here long enough now to
have gotten as used to it as possible, but it does suck sometimes.
Yes, I spent a few years near there, in the north Chicago suburbs,
while in the Navy long ago. Winters were challenging but the rest
of the year was pretty excellent weather-wise.
It's really pretty good here, for part of the year - from November
to the end of April it's quite nice.

It'll get like that once or twice over the course of a summer. Just
like it'll do the complete opposite in the winter.

Ah, whereabouts? I had family in Elgin up until a few years ago, so
I've been to the area quite a few times, as it's only a couple hours
away by vehicle.

I imagine it is. I've only been there twice, and one of those I already told you about (it sucked).
We took the kids to the four Disney money pits/parks maybe 10 years ago
or so, at the beginning of March. It was quite nice (mid 80s maybe),
and less humid. We made it through one park per day, and had a day in between each to enjoy the lazy river at our resort. ;)
It was actually enjoyable in March, even.
