though tommy is right there would probably be different rain amounts. but lets think about this. since Miami is on the east coast and in this fantasy world Florida is mountainous, i assume areas to the west would have even higher elevations, so Miami at 5000 ft might have a lot less rain (say 25" maybe)
Why would it have less rain? It's quite simple really. Prevailing easterly winds coming off the ocean brings in warm humid air. When the air mass reaches whatever mountain range Miami is on, it cools and precipitates. 100" would be a low estimate.

your right i didn't think that far into it. winds aren't always from the ocean though. and i don't think there is any location in Cuba with 100".
another thing wouldn't these mountains block cold air from canada (assuming they are taller in the northwest)? so no 9°F?

Way too sunny and the record lows in winter are ridiculous. B-
Ridiculous as in bad? Or ridiculous as in not possible? Assuming there are no larger mountain ranges to the north blocking colder air masses the record low of 9F seems perfectly possible considering that the present day Miami is at sea level and has a record low of 27F
How did you get that table? I had no idea they made them for elevation.
I made it myself
