Perhaps this will give you some clues, but data is hard to come by. Except for the highest elevations, I don't think it freezes in an average year or even comes close.

it is rather strange for me that nobody has mentioned Perth yet.I think it has no real competitors-absolutely an ideal climate.

^^Perth's climate is pretty comfortable generally, but it doesn't meet my personal view of an ideal climate. Too dry in summer, and no real chance of cold winter temperatures and snow. I do like the fact that when we do get cloudy days it tends to rain, not a big fan of cloud hanging around if its not raining.

Somewhere with distinct winter and summer seasons, with neither very cold winters or very hot summers along with evenly distributed, moderate rainfall is my ideal climate. Somewhere like Richmond, Virginia is suited to my preferences...it also has fairly high sunshine hours throughout the year which is nice.

The Nullabor is prone to extremes though...The old WA record for hottest temperature was at Eucla, surprisingly. Most of the old records are now considered inaccurate due to measuring equipment but the Nullabor can still get stinking hot in summer, due to it's exposed location. Nearby Eyre, quite amazingly, holds the WA record for lowest temperature, of -7C. Eyre is very close to the coast, with the weather station located on very pale sand dunes. Still it's an amazing temperature for a sea-level station in Australia. Only in the Nullabor, a weird place in many respects.

It's not comfortable now...lol. Perth gets a lot more heatwaves than San Diego. I say SD is the more comfortable of the two, for sure, which is saying a lot because Perth is generally a very mild place.

Nu labour? I thought that was one of the Australian political parties til I educated myself on it.

It certainly isn't a perfect year round climate, too hot and dry. Something with decent average temperatures near room temperature, and evenly distributed rainfall and sunshine would be best.

I'm mostly satisfied, but it's not my ideal climate. Especially in recent years how summers are so hot and it's been so dry in general.

Yeh thats true, San Diego is certainly less prone to heatwaves and has more comfortable days in the 18C-25C range...don't really like the low rainfall totals there though.

A perfect year round climate for me involves more variety between seasons in temperature, rather than every month being in an optimal comfort range as well as higher and more evenly distributed rainfall.
