There used to be an L.A poster on here who swore that the coldest winter days were around that temperature and would laugh at this question stating that L.A was by far and away much hotter than Sydney. As for myself, I'd say on the average, downtown L.A would feel slightly warmer than Sydney on the average but coastal L.A would feel cooler.

Sydney certainly gets higher dewpoints, but is cloudier in summer. Hard one this as both cities have a ton of microclimates and completely different coastal and inland climates. Coastal LA would certainly feel cooler than anywhere in coastal Sydney in summer, but inland LA would feel warmer than inland Sydney. In winter it's tipped in LA's favour.

As you can see in the table, the humidity averages at around 50%-ish in the summer.

Sydney is a bit muggy in the summer often getting dewpoints as high as 20C, but I'm not sure about LA?

Los Angeles is just slightly cooler(1C) than Brisbane, but Sydney is about 3-4 degrees cooler than Brisbane each month. Overall, temperatures in downtown LA are closer to Brisbane.
