Since tropical climates are your favorite, do you prefer high humidity?
I live in a place that gets dry summers but I’ve been to tropical parts of Mexico in June and aside from a couple days the humidity didn’t really affect me all that much from what I can remember, besides sweating more.
I don't mind high humidity to be honest. It doesn't affect me that much either. I like when it rains in a short quick burst and then the sun comes out straight away afterwards. I don't like lingering cloud or drizzle that much.
July 2018 had 57% sun, and there are many blue sky days in summer. Here's a selection of blue sky pics from this summer
Three of those aren't technically blue sky days.
Your average is around 40% in July though -it's not likely that there would be that many blue sky days in a typical summer.
56% is the cloudiest month here. The reason summer isn't sunnier than the rest of the year [despite less rain days] is the increase of convective clouds offset the potentially sunnier skies - I would think that is the same where you are, with low sunshine due to convective cloud, rather than frontal cloud.

No, summer is definitely by far the sunniest season and my favourite too in most years, but I didn't like summer 2018 (too hot)
Sure, but your sun would stay low in summer because of convective cloud, like most Cfb climates, and unlike Mediterranean climates.
My climate was actually Warm-summer Mediterranean last year, with a dry summer and wet winter. And no, sun is not low at all. July has over 200 hours of sunshine and had over 300 in 2006.

Leaving aside last year - while your summers are sunnier than your winters, your summers generally have low sunshine (40%)because you get more convective cloud than Mediterranean climates.
A typical trait of Cfb climates - wouldn't you agree?

Not all Cfb climates have low sunshine. Blenheim, NZ has high sunshine all year. Summers have lots of sunshine here.
