Critics of Florida weather frequently claim that it's much too hot, and whereas it's no doubt more humid than much of the U.S. -- thus increasing the feel-like situation -- the actual high temperatures in the summer months are more moderate than in many other states.
For example, consider statistics for the month of September in Sarasota, dating back to the year 1900. Not once has the temperature reached triple digits, and only twice has it reached as high as the 98 recorded on Sept. 8, 1970, and Sept. 12, 1925. And only twice -- on Sept. 1, 1970, and Sept. 11, 1925 -- did the high peak at 97.
On 11 September dates, the all-time Sarasota high stands at 96, 13 dates have a peak of 95, and on two other dates, it was 94. By the way, the all-time low temperature for September is 59 -- on three occasions: the 22nd in 1981, the 25th in 1916 and the 28th in 1991.
So humid, yes, but sizzling hot, no!
