    The humidity gets worse the further south you get. It is brutal down here in GA.

    A decent distance. How are your Winters? We can expect some intermittent snow here.

    You'll get snow up there. You'll get dumped on if you're in the mountains. It'll be colder than where I'm at. And it will feel colder, even if we're experiencing the same temperature (due to elevation). I grew up in Pennsylvania/New Jersey, so I know what your winters will look like. Georgia's a big state so it's like a tale of two climates. I'm the furthest southeast you can get in the state, right on the coast in the lower right hand corner, so I'm in a more temperate/subtropical climate. The elevation's way lower down here. It's basically sea-level, a swamp that's been converted to residential land. I might see a slight dusting of snow once every 10-15 years or so. It might get down to 30°F or lower in the day for a few weeks in January, February, and/or March, but it's been few and far between lately. It'll get down into the 30s pretty regularly at night in the winter. It comes in cycles though. It's been warm in the winters before, then got cold, then warmed up again. If I was up in or above Atlanta, I'd see more winter-like conditions during the winter. Seasons exist in the northern parts of Georgia, but not so much down where I'm at. I don't recall ever seeing temperatures below 25°F down here.

    Believe it or not, I miss winter. I really don't own much in the way of winter clothes, because I'd never wear them down here. If I had to go up North during the winter, I'd have to go clothes shopping, and the clothes would go unused after I came home.

    It slowly started to rain yesterday evening, around 6-ish PM, and then the skies opened. In about an hour, we got nearly 2-1/2" of rain

    It's interesting, and actually quite cold winters by Australian standards. Not much different from Melbourne in winter.

    Florida is just to the south and Miami has an average high of 77 F in winter. That's sub-tropical. So again, just another 500 miles to the South and a huge change. I think the US must be the most diverse country I've ever been in terms of weather. All you're missing is true tropical.

    Here's some pix from around the city from the storm that rolled through last evening that dumped 2-1/2" of rain in an hour:

    Technically, we do, if we consider the state of Hawaii and other noncontiguous territories. The Caribbean Islands we hold as US Territories are a true tropical climate: The US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Pacific territories Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands are tropical as well. They are all part of the United States, with Hawaii actually being a state itself, so we've got tropical too.
