I love Central Florida summer weather - even though it can be too hot during the day (I find it's a race between air conditioned buildings!) but it's worth it for an amazing thunderstorm almost every day. I was there recently, for 15 nights - had 13 thunderstorms, one particularly severe. Just for the record, the current conditions here (in Middlesbrough, North-East England) - light drizzle (!), 13C, 55C... Come to Middlesbrough to get much lower than the temperature you hoped for; we've got a famous bridge you know?!

what?? we beat Florida's record high?? :shock:

That wouldn't surprise me too much, looking at facts and figures about Central Florida's climate it appears to be remarkably constant in terms of high temperatures... probably one of the reasons it's a big tourist destination!

Some Florida record highs from weather.com:

Tallahassee 39C

Orlando 38C (record low for August 18C!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: )

Miami 36C

Chad's figures were daily records, these are overall.

Ah of course I thought he meant like the record high for the Florida Peninsula overall.

It's a shame it's not - would be great to use for those tourist advertisement campaigns!

Tropical climates do tend to have a more organised high temp and dont often get extremes. Sounds lovely the weather you get over there. Do you miss snow??
