Miami
Geography
Miami has a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen climate classification Am) with a marked drier season in the winter. Although it is much colder than other tropical places in the winter, and does get occasional 40 degree Fahrenheit lows, it still meets the minimum requirements to be a transitional tropical climate. The city's sea-level elevation, coastal location, position just above the Tropic of Cancer, and proximity to the Gulf Stream shape its climate. Average winter high temperatures, from December to March, range from 76.4–80.3 °F (24.7–26.8 °C). January is the coolest month with an average daily temperature of 68.2 °F (20.1 °C). Low temperatures fall below 50 °F (10 °C) about 10–15 nights during the winter season,[citation needed] after the passage of cold fronts that produce much of the winter rainfall.
