Yes, having those winters yet maintaining such a strong warmth bias throughout five months is simply astonishing and shouldn't be doable, especially when the climate is evidently not clear year round, and actually not that far off the ocean.
If you mean temperatures of 40 °F (4.4 °C) or lower, there is none, however, Tambo, Queensland might be one of the nearest to the equator (only considering elevations below 1,500 ft/457.2 meters) with an average low below 40 °F in the coldest month.
The problem with that prospect is that the equatorial heat hangs on so much stronger during winters, preventing even moderate cold snaps. What kind of defining line are you looking for? Perhaps in northern Vietnam?
Kiruna -9.0C, but including last year in the 15-year chart it's -9.2 and would the elusive 1981-2010 (it starts to be findable from 2002) readings be available somewhere I'd expect -9.5...
Finland: Kuusamo -9.3C
Norway: Alta -5.3C but those stats are from 1963-1990 so hopelessly outdated. Probably more like -4.5C for 1981-2010.

I didn't specifically mean temperatures. Because your breath can show in temps as high as 16C, if it's really humid. Conversely, I noticed it doesn't really "show" when it's 3C with a low relative humidity.
Thanks for Tambo btw. That was a good find.

Like I said (or asked), cool-ish "winters" near the tropics where your breath can be visible.
Hong Kong may be an example, even though it's like 22'N north. Perhaps those extremely humid and moist areas in the Amazon, when they get fog? After all, high humidity is a factor for visible breath. But I don't know.

In winter,southern parts of Amazon can get cold snaps sometimes and temperatures below 10C became possible when it happens.
The tropical parts of central South America in general get cold blasts during winter due to the continental influence,who allow cold winds from south to easily rush north.

Is it "humid cold" or dry windy cold?
