As for the climate listed, B. Comfortable, but May is cooler than I'd like and so are the record lows and nightly lows during the cool month. But, also strange temperature distribution.
Key Wests normal LOW temperature doesn't drop below 18 and their annual low is around 23-24. If that isn't tropical, I don't know what is.
You focus too much on cold snaps. Even Veracruz in Mexico which is below 19°N at sea level on the coast gets cool once in a while and their averages are very similar to Key West!
Bruh, this is weird, what hemisphere would that be, winters in May? Ok summers in January, that makes it Southern hemisphere. Yep it is subtropical(temperate, hot summers), but it is leaning towards more tropical than a typical subtropical, it is not far from bordering climates, so it is not the nest example in temperature averages. The record lows of summer months are a bit low for typical but they work quite well, the record lows of winters are a bit too high, 28°F for a good subtropical climate would be the anything between annual mean minimum and the average low of coldest month not a record low! Miami which is classified a tropical climate has a record low of 27°F, Tampa which is subtropical but nearly tropical record low was 18°F. So for s good subtropical climate a record between -5°F and 5°F would be best of a subtropical, Tallahassee’s record low is -2°F and Atlanta’s -9°F, so for this climate you made around 10°F would be good . Now since it’s southern hemisphere one a record low of around 15-18°F would be better, 28°F is a bit too much. Lol also, it is near borderline Oceanic or subtropical highland climates with those summers being not much hot in average, the record highs are good for an inland subtropical climate but too high for the averages seen, or maybe it is variable in summer conditions that when heat waves come they strike hard, and then also maybe cool summer days! Ok overall I rate it a B, not bad at all just a bit strange.
