I find Australian major cities quite cool for summer weather, and also surprisingly lack of sunshine despite being subtropical or mild year-round. Are there any Australian cities that have warmer summers similar to those in Southern Europe, or Eastern U.S. like NYC/DC area both high and low temps? Even Toronto and Montreal have basically warmer summers and indeed do feel warmer than Canadian big cities. Also any Australian city with at least 2,500 hours of sunshine?

Er...Toronto and Montreal don't get extreme heat like the Australian cities. Also, the UV index is much higher here (say 13 compared to 9 in Canada). And, as already said here, the Australian cities (mainly Sydney) have more sunshine hours than NY/NJ since the US sunshine hours are overestimated. Sydney averages at 2,600 hours (going by its second official station in the Airport) and that's comparable to most of southern Europe.
Sounds about right. Wiki. is exaggerating as usual.
Re Alice Springs - December does not average 430, the 350 - 380 mark is more feasible. The November and January values looks a bit too high and too low for June and September.
Yep the vast majority of Australia receives above 2500 hours of sunshine per year.
NYC recordes 3 months above 17C average temperature whereas Perth receives 7 months above this threshold with additional sunshine in the summer months which are oftenclose to 90% of possible hours. Most southern cities are fairly sunny in summer but due to low latitude potential daylight hours are of course constrained.

You suppose to look at average high temperatures; therefore, New York has I believe 6 or 7 months above that.
