That's very interesting! Thanks for the climatic data you provided. Any chance I could fit it in this
spreadsheet?
What I can do is provide a little more data.
Hourly temperature distribution (percent of total time spent in each band) for Ft Lauderdale (FXE) in the first column and and Dallas (DFW) in the second column over the past five years. Temperature bands in degrees C.
0.000 or less - 0.00% 2.67%

Ft Lauderdale tends to stay in a narrow band, around 17.5 to 32.5C, and never fell below 0C and rose above 37.5C in the past five years. Dallas has a much broader temperature range.
I'll see if I can grab the hourly data from a few other locations, over the next few days.
