Tampa has that distinction for the same reason too. Afternoon thunderstorms can cause the temperature to drop sometimes by 20 F!

Singapore, on the equator on the end of a peninsular and surrounded by the sea, has a record high of just 37C (98.6F), lower than the record highs of Finland, Sweden, the UK, Japan, Korea, Russia etc.

The Maldives, also known for being reliably warm and just 4 degrees north of the equator, has a high even lower, 34.9C, only a handful of countries have a high of lower than that (Iceland and Greenland being two)

Of course they also have the highest record low temperatres (19C and 17.2C each)

Yep, loved Clearwater Summer rains and thunder. :)
