These are the southern-inland NSW towns (Riverina region), would you consider them to be semi-arid or Mediterranean (judging by their climate table)? There is no description on their climate.
It's humid subtropical, because there isn't a dry season and the hottest month has a mean temperature above 22°C.
First, these towns get fairly dry weather all year round. Humidity is usually below 40% all year (mostly lowest in the summer months). They're far from humid subtropical. Looking at their rainfall and humidity levels, Rome and Barcelona seem much more humid subtropical than these towns.
Second, don't some Mediterranean climate places also have a mean temp above 22C in the hottest summer month? Didn't know that this was restricted to humid subtropical climate zones.
Third, I'm sure that they're more semi-arid I guess. Or at least in a transition state between semi-arid and Mediterranean because of their wetter winters (they're too dry to be partially humid subtropical and too hot to be partially oceanic).
9am relative humidity averages at least 50% in all months, and 3pm RH only averages below 40% for 5 months of the year.
Under the Koppen climate classification Tocumwal and Deniliquin are semi-arid, while Corowa is humid subtropical. Though in my opinion I would say that Corowa is closer to Mediterranean than humid subtropical because of the mostly dry summers.
No it isn't. 9am relative humidity averages at least 50% in all months, and 3pm RH only averages below 40% for 5 months of the year.
When I talk about humidity I usually refer to summer 3pm humidity. Excuse me for not being too specific up there. I didn't check at first, but I roughly estimated that their relative humidity at 3pm would be around 40% all year round (and I was close as it seems).

It definitely is. Koppen usually gets it wrong when it comes to Australia.
OT: Just noticed, now there are three Georges in here (you, myself and ChicagoGeorge). :P
