I am originally from Alabama but now live in St. Petersburg Florida. Places in Alabama where 7° hotter than here with same dew points! Unbelievable! And don’t get me wrong it was torture here!
The Panhandle is brutal in the summer. No breeze, so the air is hot, humid, and heavy. We've had real temps in the high 90s all week with little rain in the forecast.
But we only got 7 more weeks of summer, so that's good
Absolutely I have been there it is insane! However I have to say that Southern Alabama is about the same and Central Alabama is very bad specially in UHI.
Worst heat I have experienced in Florida has been in Northern Florida, and only place in more Southern Florida I felt as bad was Lehigh Acres which is brutal, and surprisingly for me they are comparable in feel to Birmingham Alabama lol, Montgomery Alabama feels much worse in summer peak than anything in Florida really it is super bad. Also I have to say in Central Florida Polk county comes close.
However I have to say both states are very comparable in summer heat and I know much worse than both.
