This thread is inspired by the "create your dream climate based on a criteria" thread, but this time, the only requirement for submissions is that the climate is Köppen tropical, meaning its daily mean in the coldest month is 64F (18C) or warmer. Deserts that fit this criteria count as well. I personally can not warrant giving anything higher than a B- to a tropical climate, but still, this is my "tropical dream climate".
@josecanyousee97 will definitely enjoy this one  . Here is mine, it is a borderline tropical savanna and hot semi-arid climate, with 3 seasons (warm dry season, hot dry season, and wet season). It's sort of like a drier version of South Florida, but it also has the "build up" feature, where the hottest temps occur just before the onset of the wet season, like in the AU and India tropics. |

Why would you make your ideal tropical climate have warmer winters than necessary, provided your actual dream climate is significantly cooler?  |

I get that, but if I have to be in a tropical climate, I want it to be warm all the time. This is more like my "ultimate climate to vacation to" to be honest. You have a point, and you're trying to say I'm a heat wanker, but I much prefer my actual four season dream climate to this one which is, overall, lacklustre and only earns a B-. |

The best tropical climates in Australia at slight altitude inland from Cairns up on the Atherton Tablelands. 3 towns at differing altitudes to choose from. |

I made my ideal tropical climate a while back.
The wet season (from Nov-Mar) is very stormy. The dry season has a high diurnal variation due to radiational cooling taking place at night. Cold fronts are responsible for all precipitation in Jun-Aug, and they are sometimes even strong enough to cause snowfall.

This thread is further proof that Metsfap is, in fact, a closet tropical foamer…well not so much "closet" anymore, apparently! He's now very clearly showing his true colours. Extra böke for the Latin location name  Off-the-charts autism |

No need to create a dream tropical climate for me, the real earth offers many of them.
You can put mean temperature and precipitation criteria to see how members would distribute similar amounts of precipitation and similar temperatures.

A Tropical Climate with 28c/18c means in the coolest months but can still get frontal snowfall ?...yeah, nah, I suppose thats why its called 'dream climate'. lol. I cant bring myself to do the 'dream/fantasy' thing. For me it has to be plausible, like the Shire in Lord of The Rings.  |

I cant bring myself to do the 'dream/fantasy' thing. For me it has to be plausible, like the Shire in Lord of The Rings. Diurnals are 28C/8C with an 18C daily mean. Snowfall is caused by a handful of strong cold fronts which occur each winter/dry season. Since I'm not really a fan of tropical climates, my "ideal" tropical climate has some temperate elements.
I also made a more realistic tropical dream climate. I somewhat prefer this one, since it doesn't have crazy or unfeasible weather, but is still better than most real tropical climates.
I used to really enjoy making fantasy climates, but I don't make as many these days as I used to.

Count me as a big fan, other than the frontal snowfall in winter...get that out of there and we'll be fine! It still scores at a 3.35 from me though, proof my formula is a bit vague and that the climate is still very good. You should by all means get back in the swing of making fictional climates - they're a big part of what keep me coming back to this forum and we need more people who are into them! My dream climate is on the exact subtropical/tropical borderline, and it doesn't really seem to fit in with the "spirit" of what a tropical climate is per se, so I'll submit a different climate I made last year:  This scores a 3.54 by the way. |

I no longer like heat, so my Dream Tropical Climate has pleasant mild winters and warm summers, with no average lows over 20°C. There is a spring lead typical of tropical climates, and a rainy late summer/autumn with many thunderstorms. Sunshine is about suitable for a climate like this. The annual average temperature is very comfortable.  |

This thread is further proof that Metsfap is, in fact, a closet tropical foamer…well not so much "closet" anymore, apparently! He's now very clearly showing his true colours. Extra böke for the Latin location name Off-the-charts autism Just because I made my ideal tropical climate doesn’t mean I’m a tropical foamer smh. This climate is the absolute best a tropical one can do but is still just a B- grade. I’d take basically any non-monsoonal temperate climate over this, including your dream climate. We actually have similar climate preferences. Also I speak Spanish natively, of course I’m gonna use some Latin location names. |

Well, A dumbinaby Angler is the same guy who calls me a "Latin foamer" just because my dream climate is in the southern hemisphere  , so I'd just count this as another example of him talking out of his ass again. For the record Metsfan, your tropical climate scores a 3.04 from me - very good, especially as far as monsoonal climates go, but it loses some points as there's enough seasonal temp variation for me to still identify winter and summer seasons and thus expect some seasonal lag. |

Equatorial highlands(ASL 1,600~2,000m) are the only option as I want every month to keep below 20°C.  |

Ah yes, my mistake...even so, those min temps at the height of the dry season there would be little if any moisture, and the mins would happen under clear cloudless skies. Unless your place is at some kind of altitude, one cant see 'frontal' snowfalls happening. Here is an example of a real tropical climate at 16.4*S and 550m asl with similar figures to your climate |
