I mean it's much further north.
Orlando, on the other hand, is literally stultifying in July and August. It's inland. I did Bush Gardens one year when family came down in July which is further inland even from downtown Tampa, than my location. Just brutal. You move very slowly and take breaks in the children's sprinklers.

Yeah, central Nebraska is basically the waiting room to hell in the summer months.
The older I get the more I understand retirees living in the northernmost climes in summer and in Arizona/Florida in winter. I hate the extremes of temperature and would move to San Diego if I could afford it.
