Florida Vacation in August!!!

[Elysiannn]

I went last year at the end of August. My only suggestion is to plan on washing some clothes or take down additional clothes. You just seem to get muggier and the clothes don't feel that clean. Count on damp everything - I sat my towel outside my balcony to dry - which it didn't. And I had problem with my camera fogging up when I would first come out of the AC resort.

The rain is pretty cool. It rains every day for about 10-20 minutes then warms up even more after it. But the timing is the cool part - it's almost like someone switches the rain on and then off.

I think FL 100+ humidity and heat is different than the rest of the northern country. So just slow down a bit, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate and have fun.

Some "things" are starting to develop over the Leeward Islands, so check the Weather for S. Florida and Orlando for your trip. I leave in 13 days, so I HAVE to keep watch, as my trip will most likely have to be canceled if anything Develops further. Fingers and toes Crossed!

Do you know how long the average storm takes to cross the Atlantic?

So many people say "Yuck! Why are you going to Florida in August; it's going to be so hot!" Well folks, I'm in CT and it has been in the 90's and humid for the past 3 days and the next 3 days are forecasted to be 100 and humid. So, I say.....What's the difference???????
Please tell me your hot FLA weather experiences and what you did to keep cool???!!!

I agree, we're in Jersey and the temps are in the 100's with nasty humidity. My mom has been in Fla for 2 weeks now, and she says it's not as bad. So I don't mind going, what's the difference! lol

Both times that I have gone in August were not really that bad. I actually really enjoy it around that time of year. Its better than December last year when I was freezing from packing all the wrong clothing lol! Also, my sister checks the weather down there and its been hotter here in Philly lately! So I'm ready for another August trip on the 17th!
