Not a tropical island

Many people who have never been to Bermuda think it's tropical. The island is situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, some 1100 kilometers (700 miles) north of the Caribbean Sea. Bermuda is on the same latitude as North Carolina.

This explains why the island enjoys mild summers while the Caribbean is having hot and humid ones. On the other side of the coin, Bermuda's winters are appreciably colder.
