I live in Fort Lauderdale, and open all my house window's usually in the Winter month's (summer time for floridian's..lol), when the temp's are in the 50's to mid-70's, and lack humidity. It always makes me more stronger and able to breath better when this occurs.

In Florida, it is the Humidity that causes us not to be able to open up our window's usually, and we also have to turn on our a/c's. In my opinion, it is based on how much humidity on that particular day. If it is humid, I can't stand my window's open, since it causes me to sweat and be very uncomfortable. I have to shut all window's and turn on a/c. But in the winter, the humidity is almost always lower than summer month's. Yes, you will get the strong breeze off the ocean, but depend's on the humidity for that day. It feel's so good during those days!

P.S. just wanted to add....whenever we go on a cruise, the sea wind is sooo strong and if temp's drop in the slightest bit, wow, does it get colder, more colder than on land. I feel that being in a high condo it could be the same, or, at least the winds would be more stronger (than on land below).It would be like a wind tunnel, and could get that way fast up in a condomenium, but could be controlled fast by partially closing window, etc. When it is too windy and colder, also a light jacket or sweater does just fine for me! Also, if tile flooring, wear pull on socks or slippers.

The salt air is considered by many COPD patients to be very helpful. As for whether the wind will be too much, you'll have to judge that for yourself. For some of us the wind is a real problem, for others cold and wind is a huge problem, some of us do fine with it. No one can tell you how you'll react. They do have heat even in Florida, so I suspect you can be warm enough if necessary (lol).

I live on the coast and it does help.

The salt air will do you good!
