Sorry knuck, we don't speak cuban, and not all of us are from africa and enjoy scorching heat.

It gets hotter across probably 2/3 of the US than it ever does in FL. Across the midwest, you might see 30-40 days per year at 100+, while in Miami, it has reached 100 exactly once since 1895.

It's not the heat that gets you, it's the humidity. I've been in 115+ weather in southern california that felt like 70s, and I've been in 80 degree weather in the deep south and ended up with heat exhaustion.

Well, scorching heat implies high temperature. You don't get scorched by mid 90s temp and mid 90s humidity. Smothering heat would be a better term for Florida summers.

You don't get scorched from mid 90's temp? Have you ever had to work outside in anything above 80 degrees? You get burnt to a fucking crisp. Add 70%+ humidity and you start to see people dying if they aren't constantly hydrating themselves. It's brutal. It was in the high 80's on Christmas Day. I plan on moving ASAP.

Having been in the construction industry from my early youth/teens to mid/late 20's, 90's temps, let alone with humidity, can mean death.

Especially if you are in an attic (screw residential). Go through a case of water a day and still piss yellow.

Like running air ducts? Yup. Anything on or just under the roof is fun fun at 1pm.
I mostly just did residential as a carpenter, new custom and 60+yo restoration. Hot is hot.

I do a lot of work outdoors and humid 90s (FL) is a different thing from semi-humid 110s (midwest). In one, you just sweat a lot and so need to drink more fluids. In the other, you feel your blood boiling and are forced make special efforts to cool your body temp down. Here's a map of heat deaths. Note that Oklahoma, which has 1/5 the population of Florida (and far fewer older people who are most at risk for heat death), has more deaths than Florida.

Either scenario is miserable.
