Indeed, Paris is much more variable than Nice, and is usually cooler, sometimes much cooler - but in a way it can get *hot* more easily. As early as in April, there are days above 25°C in Paris (you would have to wait until June in Nice for that) and a fairly high number of highs above 30°C in summer (only 2 or 3 in Nice) - Nice is very predictable and days are very equal.
July 2010 was exceptionally warm in France though, the period you chose is therefore a little particular
CC, your personal experiences and mine are far from being polar opposites as I find those humid 34°C days you are describing totally enjoyable - I found that out during my first trip to Hong Kong in August 4 years ago! and 4 months in Singapore confirmed it.

It still surprises me that not even 10% of people enjoy distinctly-hot weather.
It doesn't even seem like 1% of people do...
Closer to 0.1% of people seem to be happy about having a heat index at 110 F/43 C,
which ironically I always find quite pleasant with a low risk for heat illness if I drink enough.
(when I know HI of 110 F won't last, so I can defer responsibilities to days with more moderate temps )
I don't have a full month's worth of stats for August 2011 yet and BOM removed (archived?) June 2010, so I counted from July 2010 to July 2011.
Bunbury:
bad highs: 6
bad lows: 108
Perth:
bad highs: 7
bad lows: 73
Brisbane:
bad highs: 1 (12.6C this June! )
bad lows: 12
Kalbarri: (about same latitude as Brisbane)
bad highs: 0
bad lows: 25
I think the differences between Kalbarri's lows and Brisbane's is due to heat-island effect.
Beaudesert: (near Brisbane)
bad highs: 0
bad lows: 88
Beaudesert seems to be worse than Bunbury for lows in winter, or at best the same.
Beaudesert has been much worse this particular winter than Bunbury, with several frosts and two lows below -3 C.
I wonder what makes its nights so cold.
But one thing that Beaudesert has that SW Oz doesn't have;
no more cold mornings by September... it's like the calendar "knows."
April too, however May seems to be fair game for crappy mornings.
^^ Yes, by comparison Vancouver which is slightly lower latitude than London by CC's criteria got:
138 bad highs and 126 bad lows from January 1-August 6 so far this year.
Thanks deneb78.
And people wonder why I don't want to live in Canada.
People in Toronto tell me to move to Vancouver if I hate cold.
Vancouver's already had more than a year's worth of bad lows in Bunbury.

People in Toronto who tell you to move to Vancouver if you hate cold obviously have very little understanding of the climate here
I've always thought that Vancouver was like permanently living in a fridge... always chilly but not often frozen. Even in summer you can be quite cold at night.

"Move to the Okanagan Valley" or something would at least be a bit more fitting.
