9 months of nice weather and 3 months hot beats the opposite 9 months cold, 3 months nice. Plus, no rust belt cars. In the summer, you just go from AC to AC, and try not to go outside at all, and know if you do you are going to sweat your a## off, but not die. Dry heat is way better than humid. 95 humid is worse than 110 dry, I used to go to Vegas every summer from Florida in the military.
