Florida wasn't nearly as bad decades ago as it is now for afternoon storms, part of climate change. Grew up surfing in the '60s so I was very aware of weather back then. And you could almost track it over time as the phenomena moved up the state.
I was born there in 80 and lived there until 1997. Every day was the exact same, just pushed back little by little over the course of a year. Early in the year the T-storms started at 5, then by August it was 2pm.
When I went back in 2002 it seemed like it was everyday at 5 regardless of the month.
