The strings thing I notice here is how "Cold" people comment on it being following the passage of the first real cold front in late-October/early November when temps are actually in the 70's during the day and upper 50's at night. Conversely, after a period of relatively cool weather like the one we had this past February where the temperature failed to read 70F on 5 straight days, a 74F/59F day has people commenting on how "hot" it is. In the summer here people generally don't comment about the weather unless their engaging in some strenuous physical activity during which they might complain about the heat/humidity. And no, people here don't think it's cool/cold if it's 24C and raining.
Miami isn't in the deep tropics, though. It is a subtropical locale with a tropical climate. Your going to see some daylight variation you wouldn't see at like 10 degrees north.
Im Native to Northeastern Brazil,an really hot tropical climate,here at 8am the sun is Burning you head(im not lying),and the night you need a fan to sleep or is pratically impossible.
The humidity here is so high that even in lower temperatures it feel really worse.
I born in the interior,the days were hotter(32/33C) and Nights cool(17/18C).
Here when its raining everybody wear they Cold Outfit,its because its so windy that the Wind chill make well colder than really is,and i really feel cold when it are at 20C raining and very wind..
I have my doubts that it's that hot. It's reminiscent of Tagaytay City, which has a reputation for being cool for my country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagaytay

Only 3.25 hours of sunlight variation here. 10.5 in December, 13.75 in June.

That's still a good deal more than any tropical location.
Also latitude-wise, Miami isn't in the tropics. Tropics start at 23.5 N and Miami is 25.5 N. As BullochResident said, it's a subtropical location with a tropical climate.
I've spent the past three months in the Asian tropics during the northern summer. The worst would probably be northern India during the monsoon when 40+ C temps combined with high humidity was the norm.
Southern China was also intolerable, not because of the temps and humidity so much as the complete lack of wind that far inland.
Even Bandung made me sweat a little with 28 C at a 19 C dewpoint. Again, I suspect the lack of breeze made it feel much warmer than it actually was.
Honourable mention to Bangkok during June. 35 C with a 27 C dewpoint and full sun can really make you rethink your purpose in life. But the fact that there's a mall with AC on every block makes it much more bearable.
wow, 27c dewpoint must make you want to kill yourself
