Ah, yeah, I can totally see that. I grew up in the South Miami / Coral Gables / Coconut Grove areas...divorced parents so I was all over the place. I did always consider Homestead to be a sweltering swamp with desert heat. Going out there in the summer was always a nice way to get dripping with sweat. :P
> But I guess you're right -- I've had friends heat stroke after 2-3 hrs of unshaded exposure when it hits ~92+ i.e. soccer pickup games. Shade will carry you a long way, even without AC though -- I have extended family in La Guajira that still lives like this.
Oof...yep, same experience, especially when the sun isn't occluded by clouds. It's gnarly.
