How do I adjust to Sarasota’s summer heat after relocating?

Adjusting to Sarasota’s Florida summers is all about preparation, especially for relocation clients moving from cooler climates like the Northeast or Midwest. The heat and humidity can feel intense at first, but homes here are designed for the lifestyle with strong air conditioning, screened lanai, and pools to keep you comfortable. At The Graf Group, we recommend planning outdoor activities in the mornings or evenings, staying hydrated, and using sunscreen daily to make the transition easier. Taking a walk or jog in the morning before it gets too warm not only helps you enjoy Sarasota’s quiet beauty but also helps your body acclimate faster. We also remind clients to ease into the weather by gradually spending more time outside so their bodies can adjust. While the first summer takes some getting used to, most homeowners quickly realize the year-round sunshine is one of Sarasota’s greatest assets. Relocating here means trading snow shovels and coats for beach days, boating, and endless outdoor living.
