well sad to say i live on the coast below tampa and i can't remember a summer like this.I know when we get the afternoon storms like Florida use to be that ment the ridge would protect us from storms in the Gulf.Last year we got the storms in Florida because the ridge was not in its normal spot and storms could not turn like the last few have done.

But this 85 temp when i wake up and sweat already before i even go out the door is bad.I remember a few years ago talking about how 71 at midnight was bad.Heck i would take that now.

If a storm got over the gulf area now i hate to say but those waters are so warm we would be in trouble.

Anyone ever read this http://weathercenter.com/forecast/discussion.htm
