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.
Perth feels like a two season climate to me - a warm/hot, most sunny season (November to April), and a cooler, wetter part of the year. I think the idea of 'four seasons' in Perth isn't all that applicable. There's nothing much to distinguish Autumn from Spring (no leaves falling, except for the few exotics) except that Autumn tends to be a bit warmer with more stable weather than Spring. In Perth, as in California, both winter and summer tend to drag on a bit (February is the hottest month, August is often just as cold as July).
I'd assume in Perth spring would look very different from fall; spring would be green while fall would be brownish, or golden as a Californian might call it.

Brownish from dryness, not from leaves falling .
Yes, in Perth it is winter and early spring which is the greenest part of the year. Summer is all brown and yellow.
There's probably still some logic in using the 4 season system in Perth, though not exactly in a traditional sense. In a local context they reflect the rainfall patterns in each season even if the temperatures lag a bit.
Having been to San Diego a few times in the summer, I have come to really love that type of weather. It generally is in the 70's in the daytime and low to mid 60's in the evening. It also has low humidity. Is there any place in the world that has that type of weather on a year-round basis?
San Diego currently is 83F with a dewpoint of 68, and the forecast low is 74. Pretty damn nice if you ask me. Am I to understand this is rare? To me that's kind of neutral, I wouldn't really describe it as "low humidity"...a term which would scare me away from an area.
how about Medellin,Colombia a cooler equatorial climate located 5,000ft above sea level. perfect temps year round but with actual weather. plus it is by far the best city in Colombia and the most innovative city on the planet. MedellÃn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If I had to pick an equatorial climate, it would probably be Medellin or a something similar.
