Wikipedia: Bermuda has a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen climate classification: Af), bordering very closely on a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification: Cfa).
Another Wikipedia statement: Bermuda is warmed by the nearby Gulf Stream. The islands may experience modestly cooler temperatures in January, February, and March [average 18 °C (64 °F)].[54] There has never been snow, a frost or freeze on record in Bermuda.[55] The hardiness zone is 11b/12a. In other words, the coldest that the annual minimum temperature may be expected to be is around 50 °F (10 °C).) This is very high for such a latitude and is a half-zone higher than the Florida Keys.
Me: Bermuda is 32°N, like in Central Deep South. At 32°N is where subtropical climates are usually most dominant and stronger, having a tropical climate in that latitude is something amazing! Also the Canary Island at 28°N though most semiarid and arid it has tropical averages!
Wikipedia: Las Palmas has a hot desert climate (BWh)[36][37] with warm dry summers and warm enough winters to classify it as a tropical climate. Its average annual temperature is 21.2 °C (70.2 °F)–28 °C (82 °F) during the day and 18 °C (64 °F) at night. In January, the coldest month, the temperature typically ranges from 19 to 23 °C (66 to 73 °F) (and sometimes higher) during the day, and around 15 to 16 °C (59 to 61 °F) at night, with an average sea temperature at 20 °C (68 °F). In the warmest months – August and September – the temperature typically ranges from 27 to 30 °C (81 to 86 °F) during the day, above 21 °C (70 °F) at night, with the average sea temperature at 23 °C (73 °F). Large fluctuations in temperature are rare.
Also: Santa Cruz has a hot semi-desert climate (Köppen climate classification: BSh) with less precipitation in the summer than in the winter. Its average annual temperature is 25 °C (77 °F) during the day and 18 °C (64 °F) at night. In the coolest month – January, the typical day temperature ranges from 19–23 °C (66–73 °F), to around 15–16 °C (59–61 °F) at night, the average sea temperature is 20 °C (68 °F). In the warmest month, August, the typical day temperature ranges from 26–32 °C (79–90 °F), to above 21 °C (70 °F) at night, whilst the average sea temperature is 23–24 °C (73–75 °F).
Me: Average coldest month of Santa Cruz is 65.3°F. Also since some Mediterranean climate is present in the islands maybe there is a chance of As climate to exist.
Now Portugal, Madeira
is Csa(hot-summer-Mediterranean but it is literally a practical borderline to As(dry-summer tropical savanna)climate according to Wikipedia coldest month average is 62.6°F(17°C), 3 months average below 64.4°F January, February, and March, the rest average above 64.4°F, but 63.0°F(17.2°C) January, 62.6°F(17°C) February, and 63.5°F March, all are quite close to tropical boundary. Funchal is literally at 32°N like Bermuda. Maybe somewhere in Madeira fits As climate or at least semiarid form with tropical averages.
Now I want everybody to search and determine which ones are the northernmost and southernmost places with a tropical climate of some sort wether arid or tropical.
