But I don't like monsoonal climates. I want maximum sunshine in the summer. A cloudy humid rainy summer is miserable for me.

Clouds and rain in the winter at least makes it feel like winter. As long as there are some sunny periods now and then. Then a dry summer means maximum radiational cooling at night and low humidity which makes outdoor activities more bearable. My ideal climate is Mediterranean, like coastal Southern California.

Monsoonal climates like those in India are way too dry in the winter. Then way too wet in the summer.

The subtropical paradise brother Ynohtna / B00ST / Wipe0ut / Shake&Bake / CyberSamurai / Wipe0ut2020 is back as VIRAL.

Somewhat of a fitting name... Although CANCER fits better.

Move to India if you want a monsoonal climate.

We are not a monsoonal climate. A humid subtropical climate is broken into two differentiations: majority of precip in winter and majority of precip in summer. For instance, Miami has a majority of precip in summer whereas we don't. If you look at even New Orleans, there is a maximum in the winter as well as the summer.
The Med variety of subtropical climates have precip peaks solely in winter. Humid Subtropical climates (CFA) tend to have evenly distributed rainfall, with no defined "wet or dry seasons" (although there are slight peaks in certain times of the year). CWA climates have very dry winters (seen mainly in Asia, due to the monsoon).

Maybe for where you are. But, east of the 96, such a summer, while it can happen, is, thankfully, not the norm.

So I don't see the point of the OP telling the posters something they already know and then tell them they're getting "ripped-off," since everyone doesn't like humid weather in the summertime. Get over it or tell them to pray about, or offer them a job so they can move.
Tell me about it. Sheesh I am counting down to September.
