Living in the south means I get warm weather basically 24/7.
The heat starts as early as February and doesn’t let up until around October. There are maybe three months of cooler weather and of those three months, a few weeks when it is really cold. I like being warm and enjoying the sunshine. It is nice that I can always schedule a pool day. I love no ice, snow or need for an elaborate heater. However, I get sick of the heat. I hate waking up too warm everyday. I don’t like that I need to wear shorts and a tank top 99% of the day. I get sick of the days when wearing a swim top is my only option and I still sweat through it. I go through multiple pairs of underwear a day and can’t sit in direct sunlight. It can get into the 100s quite easily. I get really sick of relying on my home air conditioner as well. The AC starts up in the late winter and doesn’t stop until the next winter season. Using AC day in and day out gets old. I remember when I lived up north there was a time no HVAC was running and all the windows were open. My husband desperately wants to open our windows. We can’t do that when the outside temperatures are in the 80s. Our house would get sweltering in minutes. We unfortunately have to rely on cold AC and air purification plans in order to freshen up our indoor air quality. It is not the same.
