Rate the Climate - Isla de Cedros (hottest, warm, recorded)

Cedar Island Mexico. This is a pretty bland climate, but I think it's very nice too. I would give it an A rating.

Looks like a pretty maritime hot semi arid climate. D instead of F, because it's not a 4 season Dfa/Dfb but at least not too hot and the low precipitation is of no inconvenience.

If this had more precipitation it would be the second furthest north North American tropical climate! And April-July plus October and November are actually exactly like my ideal range for the hottest month.

I wonder what the actual 2nd furthest north tropical climate is. Cosalá is tropical at 24.2N. However there are contenders much further north than that. The area is very sparsely populated. Alamos is all the way up at 27.1N and just misses tropical thresholds:




I expect there are some microclimates around this latitude that hit the 700mm cutoff and also manage to squeak by the 18c lowest month. If so, this area would actually be very similar to the tropical latitudes of Southern Florida, being further north than West Palm Beach and Jupiter.

Where is the northernmost North American tropical climate?

Yeah that sounds about right. Being on the west coast of a climate vs an east coast cancelled out by cold vs warm currents evening things out in the end.
The cooler than expected nights and especially record lows (1.5C in September?) are astounding though.

To answer Ed's question, Bermuda.

Is there any tropical place on Earth that's further from the equator than Bermuda?

Yeah that climate is very close to having recorded temps <10 and >40 in every single month which in itself is remarkable.

I wouldn't know, my knowledge of non North American climates is too minimal to answer. Hopefully someone else does.

Somewhat akin to Archbold, both seem very prone to radiation cooling drops and a rather aseasonal climate in terms of record heat.

Temperature wise this place fits the bill. If we wanted to subdivide dry climates into temperature zones this would just be a dry (semi-arid?) tropical climate.
