D-. The weather is very hot most of the year, it is oppressively humid during the wet season, and there is the risk of hurricanes during half of the year. The only saving grace is that it is dry and nice from December to February.

Just to be fair…that seems like a bit of an exaggeration (lol).
I agree Miami is warm/hot most of the year and some people might find it sultry and humid in the wet season (May through October)….
but….
I think anyone who has spent time in Miami knows the weather is as perfect as weather can be from late October through April (half the year). Sunshine, temps in the 70’s and low 80’s, and relatively dry. A better climate would be hard to find.
Also...hurricanes are not a risk during half the year. In fact, about 90% of the hurricanes that have ever hit Miami in the last 150 years, have hit in the months of August, September, and October. The city of Miami has not had a direct hit from a hurricane since 1992 (Andrew)…19 years ago. Otherwise a few weakening tropical storms or the outer edges of a hurricane have just given the city a few hours of blustery weather conditions.
LMAO! millions of years ago, the entire planet was frozen, there ain't no such thing as a "tropical plant"
Millions a years ago reptiles ruled this planet in a tropical climate. Yes there is a such thing as tropical vegetation. Not saying that Miami is truly in tropical, this subject has already been debated in another forum.
I assume you mean inside the continental US. If not, do you travel much outside the US? Plenty of locales around the world are much warmer than Miami in winter. Miami had snow in the air in 1977, not too long ago really.
Miami is too cold for ultra-tropical plants. One cold snap and bye bye breadfruit, mangosteen, lipstick palms...
Maybe too cold for ultra tropical plants. But with out a doubt you will spot some tropical plants here. This thread has turned into another Miami hate thread.

Technically, most hurricanes do occur in those months. However, hurricane season is June 1 - November 30, which is six months (183 days). 183/365 is 50.1%, so hurricane season is half of the year.
