That's a huge difference, and I think most people would be surprised by those numbers. Miami also gets daily cloud cover during the hottest part of the day in the summer, and that cools the whole area down immensely. Most cities do not have that kind of thing at all. It also has near perfect temperatures when a lot other places are very cold. Do you think most people enjoy walking anywhere in the winter?

Some of the data on that site is highly questionable. A source of the stations used would make things clear.

So yeah, it does get hotter in Texas, but the summers are also much shorter. South Florida gets more rain but Houston still receives plenty.

Are they? It is still hot in September in most Texas cities. In Miami, the beach is right there.

By October, the first of cool-fronts have already started reaching the large Texas metros, while South Florida still is in the summer weather regime. The initial cool-fronts don't necessarily cool the temperature much, but they shift the winds to cause drier conditions from the summer humidity.
