1.
Bartley (Bart-lee), North New Florida
36.5°N, 166.7°E, 104M ASL
Located in the west midlands of North New Florida, the city experiences a humid subtropical climate. The summer sees a dry downslope wind off the mountains to the E/SE which causes it to be drier and sunnier than locations further south and east. Bartley suffered a violent tornado on 28th February 1999, which killed 11 people. On 27th June, 1995 an intense thunderstorm caused a massive flash flood and hail-storm, killing 5 people. 154mm (6.1”) of rain fell in less than 3 hours.
2.
Barton (Bar-tun), South New Florida
16.1°N, 172.9°E, 45M ASL
Barton City is located well into the tropics and experiences a borderline Monsoon/Rainforest Tropical climate. The winter is the drier season dominated by trade winds from the north east which are quite moist, so winter rain is more common than further westward. It is perennially warm and humid. Intense thunderstorms are frequent in the monsoon period. Temperatures are highly stable due to coastal influence and low latitude.
3.
Basinton (BAZ-in-tun), North New Florida
33.0°N, 167.0°E, 1000M ASL
Basinton is located in the upland south midlands of North New Florida. It has a humid subtropical climate, with a drier winter and monsoonal summer. On a south-facing upslope, it is prone to severe thunderstorms throughout the summer, which often produce hail. Its altitude gives it less humid and stifling climate that is quite appealing.
4.
Bochly (Bosh-lee), North New Florida
32.9°N, 163.5°E, 104M ASL
Located in in-land south-east North New Florida, the city is known for its hot summers, which are also substantially drier than further east. The city has some of the highest record highs due to a downslope wind off the hills to the south east. Almost all the rainfall from March – October is convective from thunderstorms.

43.6°N, 166.9°E, 88M ASL
This city has a humid subtropical climate but is considered more of a temperate/continental crossover climate. It is known for acting as a frost hollow in winter, but the wind blowing downslope from the south-west in summer causes it to have temperatures that are substantially higher than surrounding areas, as well as being drier. It has some impressive hot and cold temperature records.
19.
Florida City, North New Florida
33.9°N, 158.8°E, 198M ASL
On the south-west peninsula of North New Florida, it has a humid subtropical climate that borders on Mediterranean some years. High ground to the west prevents it from being as wet as other areas on the peninsula in winter. Summers are very warm and humid but relatively dry and sunny.

The monsoon season in summer sees regular violent thunderstorms but is still very hot.
21.
Hectopolis (Hec-TOP-a-liss), North New Florida
36.8°N, 168.3°E, 170M ASL

Stolton City (Stoll-tun City), South New Florida
14.9°N, 163.5°E, 27M ASL
This city is the Capital of New Florida, and the furthest south city in the country. It has a tropical monsoon climate, with a drier winter and monsoonal summer. The dry season is particularly hot for the latitude, thanks to the trade wind coming off a long land track and off a downslope to the east/north east. Build-up into the monsoon season gets very hot and oppressive, and the nights are particularly hot and stuffy in the monsoon, all aided by the strong urban heat island effect. The city is the hottest in the country by average temperature. In August 1976, a thunderstorm dropped 279.4mm (11”) of rain in just 55 minutes, causing severe flash flooding that ripped down buildings and drowned 200 people.
29.
Tym City (Time City), South New Florida
23.7°N, 175.2°E, 255M ASL
This city has a borderline tropical monsoon/humid subtropical climate, with drier winters and very hot humid summers. The city is known as the “thunderstorm capital” of New Florida, averaging 127 days with thunderstorms a year. The most thunder days recorded in one year was 157. Due to the local topography, thunderstorms are particularly intense around this area, and the city was the scene of one of the worst storm disasters in the nation’s history, when on 27th June, 1989, 654mm (25.7”) of rain fell in 24 hours, causing total ruin to hundreds of homes and business as well as loss of life. A massive mesoscale convective system kept on back building over the city on that day, and thunderstorms raged for more than 36 hours. According to witnesses, it stayed so dark that it looked like night time or twilight through the entire day, and with power cuts everywhere people could barely see as water crashed through their homes destroying everything. In January, 1983, the city also suffered a hailstorm with 5” hailstones, which smashed up many roofs of buildings and caused death and injury.

Wei Valley (Way Valley), North New Florida
34.6°N, 168.2°E, 1092M ASL
