Do you think Miami's climate is more similar to Atlanta's or to Bangkok's?
Please forget about geography for the sake of the poll: yes, we KNOW Miami's much closer to Atlanta geographywise. Focus on the temperatures, precipitation patterns, amount of variation, vegetation, and overall 'feel' of the climate.
Bangkok, no question about it. Both have a monsoon season for one, both are tropical climates. Atlanta gets freezes every year, Miami doesn't most of the time, and Bangkok never does
Agree with Bangkok. While Miami does have the noticeable cool season like Atlanta, the temperature differences are quite different. Miami's coldest avg low is 60 which is several degrees warmer than the avg high for Atlanta. Bangkok's coolest avg low is still cooler than the coolest avg high in Miami so there's at least temperature overlap. Freezes aren't common in Miami which helps maintain tropical flora and fauna. Atlanta has a clear dormant season. I've been to Miami in winter several times and it was hard to tell a difference between that and summer as far as greenery is concerned.
Miami and Atlanta have seasons, both get cold snaps every year, Miami sees freezes every 2 years or so, both are humid subtropical, they see similar summers (humid, wet), also Atlanta and Miami are more similar in sunshine hours and pattern.
Bangkok has really no seasons, its always hot and humid, Miami has seasons, Bangkok is much hotter, never sees cold. the only similarity i really see is rainfall patterns

Miami gets freezes about every once to every 5-10 years; not every 2 years or so. They only last a day or so. And their average nighttime low in January is 60 F. Atlanta's average nighttime low is 34 F; so the probably go below freezing almost half of all nights in winter.
I vote for Bangkok for that reason. Miami's winters are pretty much warm except for the cold snaps. Atlanta's winters are chilly with the exception of the occasional warm spell.
bangkok sees 2629 hours of sunshine with most coming in "winter" months
Miami sees 3154 hours with most coming in summer months
Atlanta sees 2738 hours with most coming in summer months
Miami and all of Florida has the most sun in SPRING which is the driest time of the year (in terms of rain frequency), just as winter is the driest time of year in Bangkok.
