New Never would have guessed this...

It is true. Miami has never officially recorded a triple-digit temperature; the record high there being 98 degrees, recorded on several occasions. Miami's proximity to water, prevailing easterly winds and daily sea breezes combine to keep excessive temperatures in check.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."

New Yep, see that here as well
a large mass of water is also a nice stabilizer for the temperature. Dallas, a 4 hour drive north of Houston, is almost always hotter in the summer and colder in the winter than we are.

New O-Town isn't bad either.
We're inland, but only 50 miles or so. (Of course, it's the humidity, not the heat that's nasty in Florida) I think we've hit triple digits before...but just barely: Yep, was right - 102.

Now, look at Pen and Gainville. :-)

But we're in much better shape than Texas.

New Probably more related to the breeze
O-town gets still..which combined with the humidity makes it somewhat oppressive during the "season".
