Neither are tropical. South Florida sells a lot of bulls?#%
Puerto Rico and Hawaii are the tropics and have it all over Miami. Those places with tropical claiber UV strength ( e.g. Hawaii) should be named The Sunshine State.
And don't be fooled by Florida propaganda , Miami has been 32 many. many times. It regularly gets 38-40 every winter. Record low of 27 degrees and had snow twice- in January 1977 and the 1800's.
Maybe they can switch...Hawaii can be the Sunshine State, Florida can be the Aloha State?
If the temperature in Miami "regularly" hit 38-40 every winter, then there is no way that the average low would be 60 degrees and higher during the winter months...and 60 degrees is the average winter low. It does not "regularly" reach lows of 38-40 in Miami. If it gets that low at all, it is a very unusual occurrence.
"During winter, humidity is significantly lower, allowing for cooler weather to develop. Average minimum temperatures during that time are around 60 °F (15 °C), rarely dipping below 40 °F (4 °C), and the equivalent maxima usually range between 70 and 77 °F (19-24 °C).
Miami has never recorded a triple-digit temperature; the highest temperature recorded was 98 °F (37 °C).The coldest temperature ever recorded in the city of Miami was 30 °F (-1 °C) on several occasions.Miami has never recorded an accumulation of snow, and only once recorded flurries, on January 20, 1977. "
I did look it up...I'm not a big fan of Miami, nor am I promoting Miami in any way. I'm a big fan of the truth, and your information is not factual. Sorry.
You did NOT look ANYTHING up. STOP promoting Miami with lies.

You are basing your "facts" on www.underground. com??? That's the problem. You also listed 5 single dates with cold temperatures that happened over a 25 year period. That is NOT "regularly". How absurd.
According to weatherbase, Miami averages 6 days below 45F per year. 45F is still quite a bit a above freezing and 6 days out of an entire winter season is not that may.
I remember when I visited Florida there was a thunder storm that looked like nothing I've ever seen.
The sky was extremely dark gray almost black, and it was in the middle of the day, lightning galore too.

...and then...30 minutes later the sun was shining. That's Florida weather - unless of course you were in a hurricane.

Exactly.
I'm pretty sure it was longer than 30 minutes, but it wasn't a drag out rain storm like they have here.
When I was in Florida, it looked like an apocalypse before and during a storm, but it was a abrupt end with blue skies.
