Also, there is humidity which makes it feel like you are walking through a sauna. Some days are intolerable to be outside since humidity makes you feel sticky and sweaty most of the time. We would also have thunderstorm and tornado warnings. The power frequently went out depending on how strong the thunderstorms were. It can even take the whole day to get the power back on. This is a burden for some people who need the power

It also has a greater temperature change when exposed to heat so this means there are hotter summers but colder winters.…
