Went fishing out of Gloucester one May, we had a string of really warm days with the day I went in the 80s so just wore a short sleeve shirt, froze my butt off fishing that day.
Only time I had water in my basement was in December one year where it was really cold for a good stretch then it rained hard, rain just stayed on top of the frozen ground and came in under my door. I waterproofed it after that and that was the last and only time.
Mybe he just likes to ride his mower. I had an old guy for a neighbor, he cut his lawn frequently, not sure if it was every 3 days but it was more than I did.
We checked out the Villages, several of our friends moved there, in the winter it's great down there, so we went in the summer to get a feel for the heat, no way, too freaking hot and humid. Decided on Maine instead.
Every dog I've had (4 dogs) except for the current pup have been sprayed, nasty smell but I keep hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and dawn in the house just in case.
