US Virgin Islands weather
Climate:
The U.S. Virgin Islands enjoy a relatively dry climate, one moderated by the easterly trade winds.
Temperatures vary little throughout the year, with typical daily high temperatures (in summer) around 91 °F (32.8 °C), and 86 °F (30 °C) in the winter months.
Low temperatures are normally near 78 °F (25.6 °C) (in summer) and a few degrees cooler in winter.
Rainfall averages reach near 38 inches (965 mm) each year, but those amounts can certainly vary. Most rains fall September through November, during the latter part of the hurricane season.

It is a matter of comparatives. We get summers of 44 C-47 C and winters of -5 C to 3C. As you are further from the Equator, maybe a half hour longer winter is allowed. Tomatoes. Don't grow American hybrids, grow the local variety. As any thing below 10000 feet are considered hills here so I can't consider your three thousand feet as a mountain but elevation does modify temperatures and climate.
You have perfect incubation/growing temperatures, forget Peaches, Pears, Strawberries and Apples just not possible. Grow tropical fruits Kiwi, Mangoes, Pineapples, Jack-fruit, Guavas, Papayas, Citrus and the list goes on.

And speaking of hurricanes, these islands are subject to tropical storms and hurricanes, June to November.
