Can I handle moving to FL?
I'm looking at a job in Miami Shores. The job itself is what I am looking for but I'm not sure I can handle living in FL. Ohio can get pretty hot in the summer but that is only for about 4 months...how hot is it throughout the year in FL. I have been to West Palm Beach in March and in the middle of July and I know it was hot but I don't remember if I felt towards it...was on vacation so was in shorts and bathing suit a lot. Now I have to wear thick compression garments on my legs everyday. What do you Floridians think, how do you deal with the heat or do you even notice it's that hot...just go jump in the pool
What are the major hospitals in Miami?

Sarah, it's hot all year round, no doubt about it, but remember that there's A/C in all the housing, the malls, the stores, the cars, the workplaces - so you don't have to suffer. It's not like summer in Ohio!! I used to melt in the summer in Wisconsin because no one had A/C! I love it here and have never looked back!! Welcome!

SARAH, I THOUGHT I WOULD DIE WHEN I MOVED HERE IN 1992. I'M FROM KY,AND I WENT TO MY DR THERE IN KY AND TOLD HIM I WAS MOVING TO FLORIDA, HE SAID IF I DO I WILL ADD AT LEAST 10 YEARS TO MY LIFE. YES IT GETS HOT HERE BUT BECAUSE OF THE HUMIDITY THE AIR IS MORE PURE.I PRETTY MUCH STAY INSIDE AS MUCH AS I CAN. AND GOD KNOWS WE HAVE BEACHES ALL AROUND US.YOU WILL LOVE THE FALL AND WINTER HERE THEY ARE THE BEST. GOOD LUCK AND WELCOME TO FLORIDA BRENDA 
No one hates the hot weather more than me! The worst months are May through October but unless you have an outside job, you should be fine because of A/C. Most of us do wear shorts most of the year and there is that wonderful feeling of being in the 70's in Dec when your relatives up north are talking about all the snow. Nov thru April are months that offer a little bit of cooler weather and the spring weather here is lovely. I think we do notice when it's hot and humid, but once you are inside or hop in the pool or take a tepid shower, you are fine To be honest, I think the hardest thing for transplants to Florida to get used to is the rain, we have the worst lightning and crazy storms here, especially during summer. My new boss just moved her from Pa. and he is amazed at the storms we get here, they pop out of nowhere and usually just last a short time.
Good luck with the potential job,
Amy
P.S. I hear most that have WLS wind up being cold a lot after surgery, I hope that happens to me.

As a Florida native, I know a bit about living here. If I had my choice, I would winter here and live in a cooler area come late spring to say mid Oct.
I happen to live in the Tampa area, which is very hot in summer, high 90's many days of summer. Now where you are, oh my it stays hot all year round.
It has pros and cons, as any place does.

Sarah,
I moved here from California 
in 1976. I thought I'd die 
from the humdity. 
The heat is not as hard to get use to because of the A/C 
everwhere. When I first moved here there was not A/C in all places, You'll be fine. I also lived in South Dakota and remember the summers were hot there also. I also agree that the rainy season, which is also summer time, is weird. It will rain across the street and be dry in your yard. 
So Commmmmme onnnnn Down and enjoy! 
We are a great bunch of people
