Tropical essentially means between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, so it's accurate. However the everyday use seems to have shifted to meaning hot and humid...

Exactly mate.

Thats the problem with everyday speak...

for example if you were to visit africa...

they call Nile monitors water monitors...

an white throats/boscs rock monitors....

So yeah... stick with the most common meaning for a word.
