UV in South Florida is so strong that we used to erase EPROMS by just sitting 
them outside. Miami is very much subtropical, and the sun’s damage from UV and 
intensity is incredibly strong.
It does have high humidity, which is rare in Arizona. It would be interesting 
to use good tools to measure UV at both places to compare.

In either place I wouldn’t expect plastic that hasn’t been protected for UV to 
last all that long.

UV increases with altitude, because it is absorbed by the atmosphere. For every 
1000 m of elevation, UV increases 10% to 12%. UV is also higher closer to the 
equator.

Look at the Q&A on this item.  Not good for UV exposure.

Not ready for AZ desert.
