We had the misfortune to spend several months every winter in Florida for the past 3 years. We had been out cruising for 17 years with our sailboat and she needed a refit, cleanup, upgrade to sell. Summers are brutal so winters were our work season. It rains frequently, cold fronts come through every 3-5 days. If a real cold front came through it gets below freezing 1-2 miles from the coast. On the
Coast it is just damp and miserable, fog from the temp differential between the ocean and cold area makes things seem even colder. While it can warm up, normally the humidity makes things seem cooler than the thermometer indicates. Mold and moss abound even in the winter due to the humidity. We had a tourist bureau interview us about our "vacation" in Florida. Thumbs down we said, ours is hard work not a vacation, and the weather is much nicer in Arizona in the winter than FL.
