It's weather. It's winter. You're SUPPOSED to bitch about it. And the humidity where you are means the human body chill factor feels the same as the nastier temps in the nearly-humidity-free zone where I am (I've experienced both climate types ... trust me, every 5% of humidity subtracts 10 degrees)
Something that does help, along with the usual SAD remedies of bright colours and light, are traditional winter comfort foods of the hot, savory/gooey casserole variety (pasta/rice/barley with lots of veggies & meat & sauce) and thick, drink-from-a-mug soups. I know you can't get my beloved green soup down there (not yet, anyway), but try to stick as much of an iron & B-vitamin boost into this as you can. My personal favourite trick is adding spinach or kale in homemade baked macaroni and cheese ... adds a pretty touch of dark green and all you can taste is the cheese.
And, of course, high-grade hot chocolate ... but I figured you didn't have to be told that one. ;-)
