Which areas outside the tropic of cancer average a mean of 18C (64F) and fall under a tropical climate. For example despite the fact that miami lies well north of the tropic of cancer, people still consider miami to have a tropical climate. On the other hand Despite that hong kong is well in the tropics, it is still considered to have a subtropical climate due to the very cool winters it has in comparison to other tropical regions. Discuss and add your own opinion of whether you think those cities should or shouldn't be considered tropical or subtropical.
I think that most of Tenerife (28N) should be considered as tropical.. also it is far less prone to cold than Miami is.. Miami goes below 0C and has received snow, so not too sure if it is truly tropical

Miami is tropical. I think a lot of you guys not from the tropics have too much of a stereotypical view of what the tropics ought to be, instead of what it is. Miami is a subtropical location with a tropical climate. Tropical =/= 25°C minimum 365 days a year and 0mm of snow

I think Miami is definitely tropical, just unlike many other truly tropical climates it is prone to cold snaps. It is definitely not sub-tropical as it is still pretty warm in winter! That is true of most places in the south in the US though, I guess

25°C annual average as minimum, by that criteria rio de janeiro wouldn't be tropical. The island of kauai wouldn't be tropical either. But they are both 100% true tropical climates.

I got my Celsius mixed up. Meant to say 21°C/70°F.
Tampico, Mexico is at the same latitude as Cuba and it has recorded snow before. Too many people from temperate climate zones have this misconception that tropical climates are all green, full of coconut palm trees, sunny skies, and temperatures no colder than 21°C everyday of the year. It just simply isn't true for many places. I blame this on travel brochures and the media in general, and I speak this as someone born and raised in the tropics that so many on this forum crave
Shocking sunshine hours for that latitude too, especially in the dry season.
Vinh on the coast of Vietnam, latitude 18deg 40m, only just makes it as tropical by the skin of its teeth, with 18.1C in the coolest month: Vinh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

By that criteria Singapore isn't tropical
