Sounds like the lack of jet stream makes up for it though in a big way.

The problem is haze i.e. transparency, not actual atmospheric seeing. Haze is a problem in the tropics due to humidity and relatively stagnant air, unlike here in the south where humidity is low and there is more wind to disperse particulate matter. That same stagnant still air however is creating good seeing.
