Which of the following climates has has the highest annual average daily high?

A) Miami

C) Honolulu
D) L.A-Mex's house
Very funny.

I guess Phoenix, as my suburb average daily yearly high is about 83 F not so not hotter than Phoenix, it's funny you think I believe LA is hottest place on earth.

Their "cold snaps' come from the landmass so the coast would be most protected.

I agree that all those Florida locations see highs in the 40s more than the L.A. coast but 50s are far more common in Santa Monica because you can get them in any month except for July and August while in Florida it would be only confined to occasional cold snaps within the the three winter months.
But floridas climate is much difdernt than California's. In CA a mile makes a difference, in Florida it doesn't. Santa Monica pier is 71 in July, 3rd street promenade in downtown Santa monica is easily 77 F, maybe even higher.

if Daytona sees more 40s, then would 50s be the same wouldn't it? What is your source, I'm just curious

I can surely say that 43 days in the 50s is BS, even on the pier.

It seems very fishy

March supposedly sees the most days while it is warmer than dec, jan and feb, I'm not buying that.

There is something wrong with that, if it averages 13 days in March, that is nearly half the month, which means the average high for the month would be also in the 50s or barley low 60s, which isn't the case according to averages, and most certainly isn't the case based on my experiences.
