The list covers towns of 2,500+ residents, one for each of NOAA’s 5 km grid cells (555 in Florida): where towns share a cell, one of them stands for it, since the grid gives them the same figures. Every town’s own figures are on its Climate page. Every town is on the Florida page.
Every list ranks the same 2,500+ towns, so a town’s rank means the same thing on each.
