I want "cold" to be non-existent in winter and "cool" to be non-existent in summer.
I think 28 C (82 F) would be great in winter and something between 32-39 C (90-104 F) would be good in summer;
preferably dry summer heat though so that's probably an impossible climate, but we are talking ideals here.
I'd also like long shoulder seasons (spring/autumn) with days between 29-33 C (84-92 F)
Best guess is the 5-9 C annual temperature range because I would probably get bored with no temperature variation.
Ah, I see what the OP means. Since I neglected to vote in the poll, I'll revise my answer. My dream climate's average in January is -5.5F (-20.8C) and the average in July is 54.5F (+12.5C), yielding a variation of 33.3C.
The more variation, the better for me! Around 50C would be amazing. So, for instance, the hottest month's 24-hour average is 25C and the coldest month is around -25C.
