   "Average" temperatures can be deceptive.  The average 
for Phoenix in July is 93*.  What it doesn't tell you is 
that at 13:30, for three weeks straight, the temperature 
was 110+; but at night, if it cooled down to a balmy 
78, then the _average_ was 93.

   The disparity between Pensacola and Miami might be 
due to different offshore wind dynamics that don't allow 
for as much cool-down.
