Mostly Unpleasant -
2/18/2014Having grown older, I find myself increasingly intolerant of cold weather, but the type of winter weather here mimics that of my home state, Texas, and I hated it growing up and I hate it now. There is no weather more bone chilling than a 40 degree rainy day with a 10 to 15 mile per hour wind. As for summers, it is hot and humid from mid-May until near the end of September. A typical summer morning at sunrise finds the mercury at 75 degrees and the humidity at 98%. There are perhaps 4 weeks in Spring and another 4 in the Fall that qualify as truly pleasant days (as opposed to just a bit warmer or cooler that the preceding few weeks) and the weeks in the Fall are included in hurricane season. If climate is important to you, I cannot recommend this area.
