Interesting, Here on the Primal Edge (is there a short version of your name that you wouldn't mind?). I guess it is an old custom in Japan.
I'm sure it's miserable in Florida, no question about that. I think it's easy in general to downplay Hawai'i's heat using stats. I've lived in various places that were hotter than it is here, and as humid, but I was never so uncomfortable all around.
I think because the houses in those places were insulated and/or had coolers. Here I have nothing but the breeze, and a hot tin roof that turns house into a convection oven in the worst months.
