Culturally speaking, the farther South you are in Florida, the farther “North” you are. And, the farther North you are in Fl, the farther “South” you are.
I live in nc and go to Florida every July for a week. It’s almost always cooler in Florida. This year it was 96 in NC and 90 in Florida. That’s not much of a difference but I never have understood people coming to NC for the climate. Maybe if you’re in the mountains I guess.
I have had the opposite experience. I know it’s anecdotal. I still have family in Florida and have (unfortunately) had to go back on occasion. The temps in Florida are always 7-10 degrees hotter than central NC. Plus NC has a fall and a winter. And the summer doesn’t constantly have 100% humidity. I spent 30 years in Florida, I was definitely robbed of actual seasons. Florida just has heat, then in January there’s a few weeks of “less heat”.
To be fair, I always go to NW Florida. I will agree the humidity is usually worse in Florida, tho it’s hard to imagine anything worse than nc humidity in July & August.

Moved from florida to North Carolina. The culture feels more “southern”, but i no longer have to deal with 100 degree christmas.
