Is South Louisiana now considered a tropical climate?

South Florida and Hawaii are considered to be the only two areas in the US with tropical climates. Can we add South Louisiana to that list now?

It's considered subtropical, I believe.

I always heard Ft. Polk was a major hub for army training during the Vietnam war because the climates were very similar.

It's too cold to be tropical. How many tropical places can get to the low to mid 20's in the winter? None of them do.

Similar is relative.
I stepped off a plane in Delhi during monsoon. LA doesn't have shite on that
I wouldn't be surprised if Vietnam was closer to that than LA.

Our winters are still capable of being pretty miserable for that.

Louisiana occasionally gets ice.

It got below 32 degrees once in New Orleans last year and that was only for a few hours. GTFO with that shite

I'm saying we can go ahead and take the "sub" out of it. We are straight up tropical now.

so you were wrong, chief

Low temperatures in the 20s were recorded on several mornings over interior sections of south Florida, even as far south as Miami-Dade County on January 10th . The lowest unofficial temperature in south Florida in 2010 was 21 degrees in Palmdale on December 28th .

What a large sample size you're working with there.
We traditionally get 6-10 freezes annually. How is that tropical?
