Although there is a very short period of record (12 years), this seems to be the northernmost tropical climate (Af) in the U.S (with the exception of L.A-Mex's house), using Koppen's 18C threshold. I suspect that Jupiter Island, Hobe Sound, and maybe the southern tip of Hutchinson Island might be tropical, too. I'm not sure that this station is too accurate, though. The average high in August looks too high for a place so close to the coast and this place is incredibly wet. The station's average yearly precipitation is at least 10 inches higher than others nearby. If this were true, it would be the wettest place in the state. West Palm Beach has 62 inches a year just 12 miles south. What do you think - Interesting microclimate or just a poor quality weather station?
I don't really consider anywhere in South Florida to be truly tropical; it's not in the tropics, and they get cold snaps. But it's also too warm to be considered subtropical, as New Orleans or Tampa would be. I'd classify it as semi-tropical.
But, it's a beautiful place with great overall weather.

In key biscayne, off the coast of Miami (where I live) It is 56 right now at 6 pm
High temperatures look a little... high. Do you know where this weather station is? There's a Juno Beach station "GHCN Daily ID: USC00084461" which is at 26°51'36.0"N 80°03'19.1"W. If you drop that in Google it's in the middle of a parking lot--seems unlikely.
For that matter, where did you get the data from? I don't see this particular station on the NWS South Florida page (although I'll admit I have a hard time navigating NWS in general).

Yeah, those coordinates are right. Maybe it's on the lawn just south of the parking lot. Either way, it's a bad place for a weather station.
To get the data, you have to go to the map and click show more stations.
Ive never said my area of Los Angeles is Tropical, dont know why you say that. If its because of hot yearly temps in this region of LA, ill happily show you the data (and high temps alone dont make a place tropical and you know that).
and no its not tropical as tat data is too little and seems wrong.
You always act like LA is warmer than it really is. You say LA is regularly seeing highs in winter of 70sF and lows of 50sF, as if this were the average. In fact, it's daytime highs in the 60sF and nights in the 40sF on average in LA. Everyone knows this and laughs at you here making jokes just as the OP did on this thread. Just admit you were wrong, and move on.
