Okay so basically my climate is just an improved version of Miami-Dade county's climate. what I did was just moved both the North and South American Continents 1 degree south along with the Caribbean made the Dry and rainy seasons much more pronounced. So Here Is the New Miami Climate.

Month Avg High Avg Low Record High Record Low Avg Rainfall Avg Dew Point
Jan 78.2f(25.7c) 63.7f(17.6c) 88.8f(31.6c) 37.1f(2.9c) 0.59in(15mm) 59.0f(15.0c)

Nov 83.8f(28.8c) 70.2f(21.2c) 93.1f(33.9c) 48.8f(9.4c) 1.65in(41.9mm) 65.0f(18.4c)
Dec 79.1f(26.2c) 64.7f(18.2c) 89.4f(31.9c) 37.4f(3.0c) 0.98in(24.9mm) 62.3f(16.8c)

*data points with one* means that the majority of the time the low occurs during or right after a thunderstorm not at night
**means that the record low was caused by a thunderstorm or heavy rain event not a cold front

Next up is the average water temps in the New Miami Beach Climate.

Month Temp
Jan 74f(23.5c)
Feb 74f(23.5c)
Mar 76f(24.5c)
Apr 1-15 78f(25.5c)
Apr 16-30 79f(26.5c)
May 1-15 81f(27.5c)
May 16-31 83f(28.5c)
Jun 1-15 85f(29.5c)
Jun 16-30 86f(30c)
Jul 1-15 87f(30.5c)
Jul 16-31 88f(31c)
Aug 1-15 88f(31c)
Aug 16-31 88f(31c)
Sep 1-15 87f(30.5c)
Sep 16-30 86f(30c)
Oct 1-15 84f(29c)
Oct 16-31 81f(27.5c)
Nov 1-15 79f(26c)
Nov 16-30 77f(25c)
Dec 75f(24c)

Okay and last thing about the climate is that
it averages 120-125 thunderstorm days per year, has 20-25 severe weather days per year and has 3-5 significant severe weather days per year with tornadoes never being stronger than an F3 and F3's occurring no more than 3 times a century. also, during the spring(march-may) wild fires are common as the area suffers from it's annual dry season drought. during the rainy season floods are common as storms that last no more than 1-2 hours frequently drop 3-5 inches of rain. The area also averages 4-6 tropical waves per year, one tropical storm per year, one hurricane of any strength once every 2 years, a cat 2 or higher once every 3 to 4 years, a cat 3 or higher once every 7 years, a cat 4 or higher once every 14 years and a cat 5 once every 25-30 years. so there u have it my perfect Tropical monsoon climate Please rate

Awful. How could you sleep during those 26c nights? It's also too warm during the day every single month, and the "winter" is too dry. D-, very close to an F.

oh also the 26c low is pulled down because most of the time afternoon storms bring the temp down to 22-23c so the average night time low is more like 28c

I'd give it a C. Not enough seasonal variation.

If a hurricane ever hit Yellowstone you'd learn that you can't live without your blanket . Just kidding - if you stay dry, a clear 30F night is one of the least deadly weather conditions you can be in. That said, a loss of electricity is bad no matter where you are, but even with electricity I find 26C nights atrocious for sleeping or comfort of any kind.

As you might expect, I rate this climate a regular F. F- is something I reserve for only the most grotesque climates, ones that have your dream climate's summer lows year-round. The 68F record lows are especially atrocious. Concisely, the climate is much too hot and too humid for me.

As I suspected, you are a fan of the tropics, and this climate is quite tropical. Living in a tropical climate like Miami makes you part of a lucky group of people that live in a climate they like and enjoy.

C. Normally I'd probably rate this a D or F, but I am so sick of the cold right now that it almost looks bearable
