That does look like a comfortable climate! If maybe a bit monotonous temperature-wise.

I think the best would be to experience the thunderstorms in Darwin and then when the dry season comes go southeast for the winter season, maybe Coffs Harbour or Gold Coast.

yes, not radically different from mine - I give Sydney a much lower rating though because the rainfall average is much higher than I like.

Considering that you're going for warmth and more sunshine (a la, Perth), why would you rate Melbourne higher than Sydney?

Only on cooler days. The heat waves look miserably dry.

To add what G8RCAT said; There is high humidity during the summer thunderstorm showers and at nights. But again, the temps are no higher than 22C in those events. So it won't feel too muggy.

Our typical sunny, dry days are not humid, although not that dry too. 35C+ heat is extremely dry though.
