Down here cooler weather means it's hot.

you don't know what heat is in Florida -
In the way a fish doesn't know wet.
our heat index is worse. 104 degrees here is hotter than Florida's 104
Not likely, unless you live in the tropics. It's the humidity that makes heat miserable. The worst I experienced was working for the AG in Montgomery. At least along the coast you can get breezes and, during the worst of it, a swim to cut the murderous nonsense, but there are weeks in Montgomery when the only movement through the air is people (shudders). No thanks.
yes, we get the oppressive humidity and absolutely no hint of a breeze. we have work shutdowns after noon and emergency shelters all over. it gets hot and you're right it's not the temp as much as the stifling humidity; we get that here for at least a month a year. I know it gets hot in the south, Florida, Texas, Georgia etc., it really is the no breeze thing that kills.
SL is a real parallel, during the worst of the hot months, for Montgomery. Little air movement, high humidity, heat and a lot of asphalt to bake by. I would literally lie on the floor with a fan on me, living in a great old apartment with insufficient air conditioning. Terrific in the fall and winter, but ungodly from from April through September.
The average noontime temp/humidity during those months I mentioned?
April 77/84
May 84/87
June 90/87
July 92/90
Aug 92/90
Sept 87/88
Oct 78/86
So, essentially, for just short of half the year you're baking in a terrarium. Most people are comfortable at a humidity of 45. At 90 degrees temp a 90 humidity feels like 122 degrees of temp, which is what the average hot part of the day in Montgomery feels like for three solid months, being just a little better, feeling somewhere between 110 and 115 degrees for the two months on either side. The other two months, April and October, are only half hellish, with the other half in the bearable but hot mid eighties, cumulatively speaking.

This is like tropical, comparing Las Vegas, Phoenix and Texas.
Texas is high in humid and temperature.
And just think, noon isn't the hottest part of the day, it seems to be between 3 and 5 is the sweltering hours. we routinely get over 90% humidity, but not today.
But does it snow? I will take a state with dry or muggy heat during the summer as long as there is none of the evil white stuff in the winter.
I love snow !! That's why Missouri is so awesome, we get all four seasons
