(7,621 posts)It was one of the two things that made me nervous about my move down from Jersey. Not a problem. Summer lasts longer, but it's not really worse temperature-wise. The rainstorm every.single.day got to me a little bit, but I adjusted.
My other major concern was hurricanes: Sandy. Irony.

Over and over again. When asked why it wasn't 100% humidity, they said it was, but it wouldn't be understood since it wasn't raining.
