January was exactly average 76/60. February was hot at 82/67 and did not fall below 51.

that being said after looking at the Tenerife data, it looks subtropical to me, but this has to be on the higher end of subtropical. its debatable.

one question, what are the record lows for tenerife?
All time record low for Santa Cruz de Tenerife is 8,1°C, between 1981-2010 the coldest temperature was 10°C
Extreme Temperatures Around the World- world highest lowest recorded temperatures

Yes it does. NYC has cold snowy winters and warm summers, with a large difference between summer and winter. A typical trait of a continental climate

Orlando should be tropical, both based on data and experience from visiting. It is quite warm year-round.

Yet another thread about miami's tropicalness. How typical

As for me I dont think It can be classified as tropical in the way Panama City and Manaus are due to its occasional cold snaps which render the average coldest winter day to be 38/58 or something and the fact that it has dipped into the 20s in the past. HOWEVER there's no way in hell it should be classified with DC and NYC either...

You sir need your head checked. Orlando is not even close to tropical. It dips below freezing every winter...How is that tropical???

Edit: You too L.A mex please explain how anywhere in CA can be tropical??? Even the warmest microclimates (like yours) experience average lows in the mid 60s in summer and virtually NEVER have lows above 70 in winter.

Actually, it's when people staunchly defend its Cfa classification that gets under my skin. It's 17.7C in its coldest month, which rounds to 18C. And that's normals from 1950-2000.
I find it fascinating that coconuts can grow there. Latitude-wise, it about the same as me (a little above 32 N). How far from the equator is that?

Orlando can still drop into the 40s every now and then from Dec-Feb. Any area that can drop below 10 C at night at regular intervals during its coldest months is to cold to be tropical IMO.

Miami should be warm subtropical, like Brisbane is.
