A being Tropical, B being Dry, C being Temperate (subtropical is included here), D being Continental, E being Polar.

FL's climate is entirely subtropical. The Tropic of Cancer runs well south of the state. And even southern FL gets chilly seasonal weather that Hawaii would never see.

CA's climate, by far.

I live in South Florida...the climate here is overrated. It's too humid and sticky and lacks any real variation in temperature.

No, it doesn't. Look at it closer, maybe click the link. There's obvious color differentiations- I didn't think I needed to point that out. There's 29 different climates shown, for christ's sake.

Or google Honolulu tropical. Anyway, it seems that Honolulu itself has a more arid climate than needed for a typical tropical climate, but is too warm in the winter for a subtropical climate. That's beside the point, though, because A) that's only the SE tip of Oahu, the rest is tropical and B) the islands are all south of the Tropic of Cancer, which nearly by definition makes it tropical.
