Florida's heat is a different animal compared to California's.
Florida's cold snaps are a different animal compared to virtually frost proof Los Angeles (where in Florida has remained frost free since 1979 or most of our lifetimes?). Even Miami's all time record low is colder than Los Angeles and that's the warmest part of the Florida. Central Florida's record lows are mostly in the teens and Northern Florida has even gotten below 0.
Florida's heat is lame compared to how frequently we get over 95 in summer. If you want it more hot more consistently, go to the inland empire with 3 months of consecutive 100 + average highs. We win for both heat wave potential and ability to avoid cold snaps. Just accept it.
Using just 2015, my climate has 65, while one of the warmer NZ towns I used for comparison, had 61, yet my town had frosts in 7 months, while the warmer town had no temperature below 3.5C, and was warmer in every season, and nearly 4C warmer over the year.

Miami isn't the warmest part of FL, Key West is. The record low there is 41 F, so it's completely frost-free. Nowhere in Cali comes close to that.
Also, Miami is much more consistently warm and humid than L.A. during the summer. That's not something you can deny. L.A.'s July and August temperatures are like Miami's average November temperatures. It's not even a comparison. Even the warmer part of L.A. (Canoga Park, which has an average high of 96 F in its hottest month) has average lows in the 50s, so a much cooler mean than Miami.
Also, if you're going to use the whole state, CA has hit -45 F before....so I don't think you want to go there.
I think you're the one that needs to accept that L.A. isn't Palm Springs. L.A. is not a hot climate.

The -45 F is because we have mountains over 10,000 feet. Florida is flat as a pancake. Nowhere in Southern California at sea level has ever seen a temperature below 20F. Many places on the coast haven't even gotten to 30F before. Valleys of Los Angeles kicks Miami's butt for average daily summer highs, let alone records. Nighttime lows are in colder than yours but they happen around 3AM when everyone's at home mostly asleep. The heat that I enjoy all happens in the afternoon. I love heat with a passion and Florida just doesn't get hot enough for me but gets way too cold for me during cold snaps.
Funny that it ranks a bit higher than Miami, while Miami is quite warmer than BA year-round.
Buenos Aires is a really stable climate, while Miami is prone to insane humidity in the summer and freezing cold in the winter
