In the tropics (especially in the ITC zone), prolonged dry periods are rare.
When you only take solar power in consideration, the locations with the most solar power within 24 ours are....90 north (21 june) or south (21 dec).
Unless you are talking within 9-10 degrees from the equator, some places have LLLOOONNNGGG dry seasons, take Khartoum at 15°N, their dry season is 9 months!
I totally disagree, the tropics are far more unstable than the temperate zones.
(I know Florida is subtropical, but i can assure you, by living in the tropics, that this is absolutely true, it happened here twice today).
Say that to Texas though. South Florida is tropical climate, subtropical= warm temperate so the subtropical of the rest of Florida is still basically a temperate. Texas is mostly subtropical, which is warm temperate(or temperate hot summers) and is even way more unstable that FL.

Florida’s weather is quite unpredictable, but yeah, Texas being more inland and most of it more northern it will have more mix up. And, warm temperate= subtropical? Bro, we already know that, repeating the same constantly is boring, I am not saying you should not say it anymore, it’s imore like you do it in every single sentence you write!
I agree with Muslim12,Here in Northeast where i live,you must know Pedrinho,you almost never see my region in news due to crazy weather.
Most things who happen in our contry talking about weather are from Southeast/South.
I hate it,Tropical Climate are so Boring..
Tropical South America lack cyclones, that's why they don't make it to news. Other tropical parts of the world have cyclones, depressions, severe fluctuating monsoons, abnormal cold and heat waves in the dry season (for continental regions in tropics).
Relatively cool to cold sea water on both sides of the continent really stabilizes the climate of tropical South America.
