How does Miami compare to Darwin as far as climtae, UV strength, and ability to grow tropical vegetation UNPROTECTED?

Is the UV difference noticeable? Does the sun feel ALOT stronger?

i guess you mean miami usa?

well darwin as it is at the northern end of the tropics is close to the equatorial region, so summers will be very hot with lots of sun, when they aren't having lots of rain and their share of tropical storms (cyclones), humidity will be very high in summer months. winters will be more human friendly as heat and humidity will be at more comfortable levels and without the storms and rain is probably their best season. to put it in perspective they most likley have 9 month summers at least.

so would then expect that darwin would be very good for tropicals but there could also be problems with excess water.

don't live there just how i heard it is.

I should warn that this poster (not Len!) seems obsessive and has posted a lot of very ill-mannered messages in the American Tropical Plants forum.

The climate of Miami is actually much more similar to that of subtropical Brisbane. As Len stated Darwin is much more similar to the torrid tropics (equatorial) and in some publications is refered to as subequatorial.

Mick,

Southern Florida is subtropical and although central and northern Florida may be subtropical by US standards it isn't really my idea of subtropical as many areas can't grow tropicals that will grow in Sydney.

About your site is very interesting to compare the other sites. The VERY DESTRUCTIVE CORE of SEVERE TROPICAL CYCLONE LARRY with extreme gusts up to 280 km/hr should cross the coast between INNISFAIL and MISSION BEACH between 7am and 9am MONDAY MORNING. DESTRUCTIVE winds are expected to commence along the coast between INGHAM and PORT DOUGLAS early MONDAY MORNING. GALES are already being experienced along the exposed coast in the warning area.
