Getting use to the heat in Summer

When I first moved to Florida in the mid 90's I was on guard to deal with the humidity and heat I was warned about by other previous visitors to Florida. To my surprise, the high humidity and temps were not much different than I had experienced back in the Midwest.

I always thought a person's body makes some sort of internal adjustment to the weather.  To my surprise this is not true. According to medical sources there is no thinning of the blood. No internal thermostat. Nothing changes physically.

You will find we have an average high temp at about 93F. during August for instance. Humidity will be high. So what changes go on to help cope with the warm weather?

For one thing I found setting the AC up to 76-78 after being here awhile. Most of the restaurants keep the temp at 72 or so. These settings are just too cold for me after I had been here awhile. So the good news is it is my experience we stay inside a little more during the day and dress accordingly.

Like so many baby boomers, it is so beautiful here the rest of the year most people will take a little heat for those winter days of freezing temperatures.

Happy Birthday Canada!

Canada's birthday on July 1st.   Now known as Canada Day,  it is celebrating the uniting of 3 colonies to form a country within the British Empire. It is often celebrated with family picnics, barbecues, national games such as baseball and field hockey and fireworks.

Canada Day is observed on July 1st regardless of the day it falls on except for a Sunday in which case it is observed the following day.

Canadian Baby Boomers will arrive in Florida usually after October 15th.
