Ok, that makes sense. I'd say Brownsville is on about the same level as St Pete, Clearwater, and parts of Tampa as far as warmth, and probably warmer then Orlando. But I still don't think is as warm as any other city in South Florida, despite its latitude.

Brownsville:
Average Jan High: 69ºF
Average July High: 92ºF
Los Angeles:
Average Jan High: 68ºF

Lol..Brownsville is no where near Miami's weather. The south east coast is moderated by the very warm Gulf Stream and proximity to the equator. The Gulf Stream is what keeps Bermuda and Britain so warm.

Brownsville is on par with SoCal for winter average highs...but different story in summer

SoCal winter averages are a tad cooler.

Most tropical city? Let's see here, could it be San Juan, PR ... because you know it's the only city in the United States in the tropics.

First of all, San Juan is not IN the United STATES. It is a commonwealth; A self-governing, unincorporated territory of the United States.

Second, there is an actual US STATE located in the tropics. It's called HAWAII.

Was this entire thread created and composed by folks from back east who do not know the terms 'Tropical' means, or what?

That's for sure! But are you sure that Brownsville only averages 92F during summer? Isn't it more like 102F?

LOWER 48, we already know Hawaii is TROPICAL. If you include unincorporated territories, Guam, would beat out both Hawaii and Puerto Rico because the record low is 10ºF higher!

The range of summer maximum temps for SoCal varies a lot.
From the mid-60s along the coast, to the mid-'80s in the LA basin, to the 90s for the inland valleys to over 100 degrees in the desert. The upper elevations of the mountains have an average max. summer temp in the 70s.

Where I live, the average July maximum temp is in the low 90s.
