I have wondered have much of a difference the Gulf Stream made. It appears to just keep your head above water, as it were. I was once in Boston in August when it was in the mid- 60s, but that is partly because it is directly on the ocean, and the winds were fairly high. I suppose that Annapolis or Washington would seem nearly tropical to you--- we have a fairly solid block of heat from about the beginning of July to mid- August, generally in the 90s, sometimes hitting 100 degrees F or so. Nevertheless, we are more Mid- Atlantic, and generally like New Jersey or southern New York, than truly Southern. Humidity is pretty high much of the summer, as well, though worse in the South. Of course, there ia bad weather outside of the block, but it is sporadic. Summer can, at best, be extended from the end of May to the beginning of October, and usually is more like mid- June to mid- September. Of course, by your criteria, it might be from about April 1st to the beginning of November.........
