Which is more comfortable to you; hot dry days with cool nights (30C/86F during the day and 13C/55F at nights) with relative humidity below 30%, or you'd prefer mildly warm days with temps around 25C (77F) in the day and 18C (64F) at nights (days would have 45-50% RH and nights would exceed 75%).

Pros of the first scenario: Dry heat, crispy cool nights bringing relief to the hot day (no need to rely on aircons)
Cons: Hot days, nights might get too cool (high diurnal range isn't everybody's cup of tea)

Pros of the second scenario: Comfortably mild days with agreeable humidity (not too dry or humid)
Cons: Humidly warm nights, more insects

To note, both scenarios have dry conditions during the DAY.

I don't consider 30C to be "hot" so definitely that option.

Definitely the second one. Humidity and warm nights are a priority for me (although the afternoon still isn't particularly humid, but reasonable).

I choose the first one
Lots of Portuguese areas have around those averages for the july-august period, including the dryness

I guess hot days, and nice dry cool nights... Like 33C as the day temp, followed by a 17C night...

Second option. 25C is a very warm and pleasant temperature, and 18C is a comfortable night time temperature. No a/c would be required and I would feel comfortable constantly.

The 30C/13C option is also OK, but nights may be slightly too cool for me.

None of these would require a/c though.

Second scenario for me. 25C is warm enough for a summer day, and I like warm evenings.

Warm day/nights for me. Cool nights suck - only 1C here this morning (with a 21C forecast high). Enough of this nonsense!
