This is entirely accurate. I may have missed comments about the mosquitoes. Some people mistake them for turkey vultures, which we also have. The difference is that turkey vultures do not land on your arm and suck all of your blood out.
Hilarious. A lot of this could also be said about South Texas. Curious, do the roaches, mosquitos, and large reptiles have seasons too? 😂 Or just a constant problem?
You are correct about Florida! Spot on. At least one more month of NOPE season this year, until the end of September. (But Hope is on the horizon Sept 1st.) The opressive heat and humidity have been more than opressive this year. (99 and +100 every day) Plus there has been numerous lighting strikes this year. Houses catching fire, people on beach struck and killed by lightning.
I always tell folks don't come to Florida 'cause it has cold food and warm beer. The State Bird is the mosquito and we have infestations of Iguana lizzards and Pythyhons. (Because people buy exotic pets and when they can no longer care for them, they turn them loose in the Everglades swamp where they flourish.)
Florida is a VERY expensive place to live thanks to millions fleeing California and New York CIty. Also, if you are going to live south of Orlando (Disneyworld) you MUST be fluent in Spanish. Not just any spanish, but the Cuban dialect. Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Ft. Myers, Cape Coral and Port Charlotte are Cuban speaking and you will be expected to speak the language to deal in stores, offices, doctors offices, etc. I speak Spanish I learned in High School, but Cuban is hard for me to understand because it is spoken so fast, endings are left off words and there are many special idioms particular the island of Cuba.
I grew up in Florida and can confirm your descriptions. I now live in Nevada (last 36 Years). It is as about as Opposite as you can get from FLa. I noticed the main thing we both have in Common is telling Californians we are Full Up, and DO NOT COME HERE! :)
If you have a weather-wise ache, it becomes useless in Florida because it is going to rain almost every day from the end of March to the beginning of October.
The other descriptions for the four seasons of Florida are summer, powerful summer, summer, and not summer.
We have approximately 6 weeks out of the year that are actually something known as "not hot", with the thing known as "chilly" being only occasionally present during those.
If you have trouble with heat and humidity, you do not belong in Florida. The humidity is typically thick enough to cut with a knife on most days, and frequently reaches the level of requiring swimming skills to get from location to location.

All three are jurassic sized and everpresent. LOL. They recede slightly during Jacket Week. The iguanas stiffen up in the cold and fall out of trees.
