[QUOTE="OneofThree, post: 8689014, member: 121645"] This, in a nutshell. I lived in a cold climate for 20+ years before living in Central Florida for another 20. Unless you're a toddler, elderly, or have health issues, the heat is more about being a little uncomfortable than anything else. The temps rarely get that high. The biggest two factors are the humidity (not too much to be done about that) and the angle of the sun (blistering vs higher latitudes). The best thing you can do is to cover your head and exposed skin with clothing specifically designed for that purpose (ie Under Armour, Columbia, etc.) It's definitely important to stay hydrated, but that's not all that difficult here because it's so humid that evaporation is really limited. Be careful with alcohol consumption and large, heavy meals. One of the biggest factors is that many people (including myself) aren't accustomed to walking 10+ miles per day in [I]any[/I] weather. Taking up that activity when the heat index is 120 degrees can be challenging. As indicated in the quote above, exercising and getting in shape before your trip will help far more than anything else, IMO. [/QUOTE]
