I'm not sure where Todd is exactly, but for kicks, I went to the weather
channels page, and looked up the monthly average temps for the following
locations. What's shown is the temp for the hottest month in the summer. Edmonton Alberta Canada- 73
Calgary Canada- 74
Prince George BC Canada- 71
Miami FL- 87 Tampa FL- 90
Jacksonville FL- 91
Pensacola FL- 91 As you can see, this isn't exactly fire and ice. I was actually surprised
to see that we're 4 degrees hotter on average than south Florida.
"Average" temperatures can be deceptive. The average for Phoenix in July is 93*. What it doesn't tell you is that at 13:30, for three weeks straight, the temperature was 110+; but at night, if it cooled down to a balmy 78, then the _average_ was 93.
The disparity between Pensacola and Miami might be due to different offshore wind dynamics that don't allow for as much cool-down.
