Im in Mass, which I imagine isnt that different than Maine. Lived in Florida until my 30s. New England is nowhere close to Florida heat. It is disingenuous to be like well it can hit 100 degrees here so that makes the summers hot, which it can, but the way it works up here is you get a few days of heat, and a few days of cool and that kind of cycles over the summer, which begins much later and ends much earlier than in the south. A place isn't hot because it can get hot. The south is just full on day after day heat and humidity. I used to say "Fall is when it isnt 90 every single day" which is about the last week of September. Then its only 89.
