Someone finally decided to upload a climate page for my home town, Key Biscayne (a Tropical Monsoon Cliamte) So I thought it would be fun to have a climate battle between my climate and another Tropical Monsoon Climate, Macapa.
I didn't make it But I approve of whoever did! I have no clue where the data came from but I feel the summers might be a tad warmer
Well, since you didn't make, you should have no problem with me saying that whoever wrote it sounds like a complete moron. Flurries "graced" the island. Hurricane landfall once every four years? Summer storms stem from Everglades.
The source is just "Key Biscayne Weather" - no link or anything. Good one.
The data should be substituted with the Miami Beach data, which is much warmer than this. C'mon, annual average high of 80.5F? You know that can't be right.

I have absolutely no problem with you saying that. However I agree with much of the data presented except, like I said before I believe summers are warmer; 80/87 not 78/86. However our winters are definitely cooler than that of the concrete jungle which is Miami Beach... If they are 61/74 then 59/73 makes perfect sense for the town of Key Biscayne.
Somebody obviously made that up because there are no weather stations on Key Biscayne. However using the 61/74 Miami Beach average and the fact that under normal circumstances they would have virtually identical climates then one can easily come to the conclusion that subtracting for the effect of a very obvious urban heat island that 59/73 or 60/73 is a perfectly reasonable assumption for the january average of Key Biscayne.
would have liked to have seen what the chart looked like but it seems somebody replaced it with the Miami Beach chart.
