You wouldn't last one summer up here, especially if we had a hot one. You have no idea what mid-high 30's and 75-100% humidity feels like. Gets really bad if the temps creep into the low-mid 40's. You can't cool down, air conditioners fail in the heat, you have a cold shower at least 2-3 times a day and yet you're sweatier and hotter afterwards, everything goes moldy and it's impossible to get rid of it, it drains you of all your energy, swimming in a pool or down at the beach is like taking a bath, it rains all the time etc etc etc.

No, if you want to see this place at its best, come in winter.
