<P>What if you just have tinted windows and your AC isn't working. And do they have the old coolant available there (R-12...) like they do here in southern cal? <BR><BR></P></DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;The answer to this is "it depends"--
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Florida is a "longish" state that runs North-South. Climatically speaking,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Natives use the terms "North Florida" and South Florida". North Florida has
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;a climate much like the rest of the "Sun Belt" states--Texas, AZ. etc.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Sometimes it gets well below freezing in the Winter, and this condition has
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;been getting worse in recent years, as any orange grove owner will attest.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;South Florida is considered Semi-Tropical. Tends to be dry in the winter and
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;wet in Summer. Temps around the Jupiter area ( Palm Beach County) get into
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the low 90's this time of the year. In July and August, they are oppressive,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;and AC, both in one's home and car, is essential. Folks get up @ 4 AM to do
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;their gardening, than stay inside with the AC after 8 or so.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Tip O' the iceberg, hope this helps.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Can someone tell me about Florida weather. I' m thinking of going there.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Someone told the weather doesn't really get hot until July and August.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Someone else told me, no, its bad right now (May); another said June was
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;when it got real bad. So whats the scoop?
