Loving the sound of "cool, cloudy and showery" weather which is mentioned five times over the next seven days: Bondi Forecast
Wow, I never realized Sydney beaches could be this cool in mid- December (June for us). That weather looks worse than British summer weather. You won't see this on their tourism adverts.
Actually, that Bondi Beach Forecast is better then many forecasts for us in the summer (I needn't mention that summer month when the temperature never exceeded 21c).
Still miserable here in sub-Antarctica. The predominant pattern (for most of the year) of cold, wet and cloudy is stubornly refusing to break:

Your avg high/low over the next ten days is barely 65/49F.
All I can say is, you may be able to grow subtropicals with your winter, but your summer weather would be terrible for me. When I see a forecast like this for the first month of summer, with the sun high in the sky, I'm actually grateful for our winter. We have to put up with a more continental winter, but it leads us to a much bettter summer.
I can't imagine being able to grow many warm loving veggies with that kind of weather. June 2009 here was considered cloudy and cool, and tomato blight was rampant around here. June 2009 avg high/low was 79/63F, and everyone was complaining. That would be a heat wave in your neck of the woods.

He's not citing a typical month, far from it - and it's only a forecast. "Wet" is a ridiculous description for the year there, too. In my neck of the woods we seem to be closing in on the cloudiest year for almost 2 decades - but I won't try to pretend that it is "typical".
The forecast for the next ten days shows Miami warmer than Sydney, and barely cooler than Brisbane. Water temps in S. Florida currently in the upper 70's, which I'm sure are warmer than Sydney.
Yeah, Miami gets cold snaps, but it still has great weather in the winter, if you like it warm (air and ocean).
