I’ll throw my 2 cents in 😀

I spent my first 22 years in Syracuse NY and never went south of Pennsylvania in all those years. In June of 1968 I graduated from Syracuse university with a BSEE degree, an AFROTC commission as a 2nd Lt, and orders to Patrick AFB on the east coast of Florida on the barrier island just south of Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral.

It took me a few months for my metabolism to get adjusted to the Florida weather but once it did the weather was wonderful. Once the Bermuda high established itself in March and the trade winds set up we had no daytime rains until late October. What little rainfall we experienced was in the dark of the night. The daytime rain clouds would form up west of US 1 around lunch time and then start moving west to hit Orlando just after lunch time and then the Tampa Bay are in late afternoon.

Life was good!
