I grew up in Miami, live in NYC now, 79 feels insanely hot to me now. I'm sure there's some science to this, but it's probably either acclimation to the "average" temperature, or maybe differences in humidity? Also every place in Miami has killer A/C, that probably factors in quite a bit.

Maybe also differences in wind? I'm guessing Miami gets a nice sea breeze much of the year. Things are likely very different in the urban geography of NYC, with wind tunnel effects in some places and stale air in others.
