I'd be happy with that but darn I am freezing today down here. Not used to 50s tp 60 anymore. At one time I'd have found those temps quite warm, not so much now. Ah well, the cold front along with the rest will help keep things settled for us.
When you have lows in the 40's and 50's, and highs in the 60's, after having 80's and 90's during the late spring and all summer, and early fall, and it suddenly turns colder, you are not acclimated to those cold temps this time of year. Normally it's still in the low 80's to high 70's. It will warm up for you for this weekend. So, hang on!!
It is funny that I used to love the cold and originally planned on retiring up near Marquette, MI on Lake Superior and now find 60s too cold. I used to run around most of the winters in a light jacket except when it got subzero. My Michigan friends laugh at me now.
In January, I consider 60's a veritable heat wave. In summer, that's too "cold" for New York State, as it would be for Michigan in summer. In Florida, the 60's in January would be as cold as a summer 60's here at Syracuse. Yet I find YOUR 70's, 80's and 90's HOTTER than Syracuse's in summer. Even in January, a rare 90-degree day would STILL seem hotter than a Syracuse 90. I think that has something to do with a "Florida sun" vs. a "Syracuse sun". This June, I found that after only a few MINUTES, I could already get a minor sunburn whereas in Syracuse, it may take an hour or more to have a minor sunburn. In summer, Syracuse's humidity at times can be as high as yours in summer, yet OUR 90's don't seem to be QUITE as hot feeling as YOURS. There is something different in the way YOUR heat and humidity feels compared to OURS.
I have lived on each of Florida's coasts and found that the Atlantic was much more uncomfortable. I was in Ft Lauderdale and found it much more humid than here on the Gulf coast but then they get their west breeze off the Everglades, we get the Gulf.
The summer sun he is much more UV intensive than a Michigan or New York one and as I have had skin cancer in the distant past while in Michigan I take precautions down here and avoid the midday sun and often use a sunbrella to reflect the UV and heat away.
Here in PG the summer is yes very hot but the humidity tends only to get high in the last afternoons and through the night after our near daily PM thunderstorms. Michigan 90+ weather always seemed to be humid. I've acclimated enough that I can tolerate the 90+ summer heat but when the humidity goes up I stay in the air conditioning. Up north I used to avoid going out in mid 80s.
The mid 80s' are fine with me. If it gets humid, 85 will seem warmer than it actually is. I like it that way; good for swimming. 80-95 is my favorite temperature range in summer.
If anything, that low could become a weak nor'easter, but that would be about it. No tropical entity expected, or any unusually heavy rain or wind.
