Miami is in the tropics. This has been covered to death in other threads...just accept it already.
Well I included it as people are doing so, but geographically speaking it isn't in the tropics. It's at around 25° degrees North latitude and the Tropic of Cancer is at 23° 26′ 16. So it's north of the line.
It is in a tropical climate though. As we're talking climate, not geography, it's a tropical city. (A city can also be in the tropics, but not have a tropical climate as I believe La Paz, Bolivia is not tropical in climate) Mobile I guess is subtropical so I shouldn't have listed it though. Fort Lauderdale is listed as a "tropical rainforest" climate according to Wikipedia. It's the only US city, other than Hilo, that they seem to list as such. Unless there's a Puerto Rican city I missed. Although it doesn't look that much different to Miami and is near it.

No it is not, the keys however do fall into that category but key west is actually as far from miami as it is from cuba. Miami two winters ago at least winter 2010 was way colder than any tropic region should have been. I believe there was actual frost there for a period.

many tropical places can get cold,places like san paolo and Bogota are in the the tropics they are much colder than Miami and sometimes it could snow but not in Miami
Miami is tropical. It's a few miles north of 23.5N, big deal. The climate is still very tropical. You guys don't understand what a sub-tropical climate is. Compare Charlotte with Miami. Biiiiig difference.
