Florida isn't that hot. Humid? Yes. Hot? Meh. Especially not in a garage with no UV coming in.

Yes, Nick, it's not a DRY heat like Phoenix. But I've been living part time in FL for 10 years. I stopped keeping a car in my FL garage during the summers. If you have a not air conditioned, not insulated garage in FL with little or no ventilation, that inside temperature easily reaches 125-130 degrees in the summer, and that does a stored car no favors.
