Ah, see?  That's the key.  South Florida is considered "subtropical" and is a 
totally different climate.  

I conducted an experiment today, and opened all the windows in the house and 
turned the air off.  Well, within a matter of 45 minutes and with nary a 
breeze, the temp inside soared to 93 before I turned the air back on.  I walked 
outside to cool off, only to be enveloped by what felt like a hot, wet blanket.  
I've taken three showers since, and it's taken the air conditioner three hours 
to cool the house off to a respectable 79 degrees.  

It's a different world altogether down here, and I'm staying inside.
