I just went to a place where there is my ideal summer weather.
mild-warm mornings, not too hot, not too cold, just comfortable enough to enjoy the sunrise in shirt and shorts, hot afternoons, and warm evenings where one can partake outdoor activities without dying, unlike here in icy cold subarctic Melbourne.

Was that Cairns again?
My idea of perfection too. I prefer some warmth right up until bedtime, midnight even.
My ideal summer weather would be just barely warm at all and cool at night. (In other words, early "autumn-like" weather! LOL!)
Our weather feels like that to me, (and many people) fairly-reliably from late-August into mid-September.
We'd consider that "late-summer" weather. Care to plan a visit?
In your ideal summer weather,
would this be comfortable for you in t-shirt and shorts,
or are you hoping to wear long sleeves all day "in comfort?"

I hate the weather here more than words can ever express
I just looked up Renmark, SA. I'm surprised it's not very far north.
Similar sentiments about my particular homeland,
but every climate in my country is "stuffed up," imho.
At least you don't need to immigrate to live in a happy climate.

Yeah, T-shirt and shorts would be warm enough for that in daytime. Something more for cool evenings. In Texas, that would typical "October" weather. And often November is that warm too, but by then we are getting some cold fronts coming through and it can get cold.
LOL! I probably ought to spend my entire summers in Canada actually!

Renmark (and Mildura) is borderline desert and is far enough inland to avoid most cool changes and seabreezes that torment Melbourne. Fantastic summer climate in that area....hot, but not deadly days, warm evenings and nice mild clear mornings. Can't get better than that
And both towns seem to have a huge population of palm trees. Pretty much every second house sits under a canopy of palms! In Mildura, you can see palms and palm bushes growing in the wild beside irrigation ditches. Don't see that anywhere else in Victoria.
Both places however have their weather stations at the airport, which is some 10km from town in both cases and sits in a pancake flat field. I reckon if the AWS was in town it might read hotter both during day and night...well in Mildura's case atleast as it's a fairly sizable town so it probably has a "heat island".

Renmark and Mildura sound dreamy.
I'm surprised it's the only part of Victoria where palms have naturalised.
Pretty much anywhere in North America mild enough to not kill palms is warm enough for them to thrive during the growing season. (further evidence that Melbourne is a "British climate, Down Under"? )
