What is your favourite climate in the lowland tropics? (snow, hot, warmest)

[deneb78]

I am wondering what everyone's favourite climate is in the lowland tropics. So I mean places that are located between 23N and 23S and with an elevation of less than 500 meters (1640 feet). I look forward to reading the answers.

My favourite is Oranjestad, Aruba. Hot temperatures and quite dry and sunny

Probably Suva, Fiji. Lower daytime highs than places near the equator but shielded from any extreme temperatures. Also has a "cooler" season and plenty of rainfall year round with a short "less wet" season.

Hilo, Hawaii is not bad either. Really any island location 17-20 degrees from the equator that catches the trade winds and is very far away from the influence of any large landmass.

I concur.
I actually think the best tropical climate can be found on Easter Island (but it’s at 27S, therefore 400 km /250 miles south of the Tropic of Capricorn)

Probably
Noumea, New Caledonia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noum%C3%A9a
or
Ilheus, Brazil: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilh%C3%A9us#Clima

Nellore in India and Valledupar in Colombia are probably the worst.

I guess anywhere in Brazil at 20-23°S and 400-500 meters above the sea level is probably very comfortable, not excessively hot in the summer and has a good amount of rain and thunderstorms for the sake of some variability.

Dourados in Brazil is interesting. 22ºS, 430m.

It has a difference of almost 8ºC between the warmest and coldest month. Extremes of -1.7ºC and 38.5ºC.

Windward Big Island of Hawaii, or Hana area on Maui, 500-1000 ft or so.

Oranjestad, Aruba here as well.

It's so unlike other tropical climates, being dry and sunny.

Probably Miami. They've had snow.

Miami is technically just outside the tropics based on the strict definition but it does have a tropical climate. Tampico, Mexico which is in the tropics at sea level and also has a tropical climate has also recorded snow before.
