If the humidity is low enough even the high 80s can be very comfortable. From personal experience, 85-90 degrees with humidity around 20-30% is the most comfortable weather imaginable. If the humidity is really high, like 80%, then the most comfortable temperature would be between 68-75 degrees

Good beach weather if the ocean temperature is warm.

No, for most people this would be better:

mild 57 - 64
pleasant 65 - 74
warm 74- 81
very warm 81 - 86
hot >86
How is 57 mild? Up to about 65-70 there is still usually a distinct chill in the air; not neutral enough to be considered mild in my opinion. I think neutral would be in the 72-75 range, so I'd at least cover about 68-79 in the "mild" classification, but 57?

And saying our summers are "very warm" on the average day is a bit of an exaggeration, IMO. Unless it's humid, our summer days don't seem much warmer than neutral; our July average high of 83 seems to me like a reasonable mild/warm cutoff.

I agree. Give me a high of 87 with mostly sunny skies, some decent wind, and low humidity, and I'd take that any day. Lows anywhere from about 62-74 would be fine with that also.

Lower the lows by 5 degrees and I 100% agree with you I wonder what is the best place for having summers like that. Australia and Argentina/Uruguay seem to have this nailed down, probably some places close to the Mediterranean and the Sahara are like this too

Australia has some great climates

Only problem is that areas with seasons like this tend to be very dry, at least during that season. I'd still like to have a decent 3" of rain per month with it, but that just doesn't seem to happen on Earth.

(Granted, most subtropical and continental climates including my own do see that sort of weather, but only for a few days at the most; our average dew point in the summer is about 60-62, I'm guessing.)

Montevideo averages 3-4 inches of rain each month Brisbane averages 5 inches

Montevideo has summers very similar to my current location, in terms of temperatures, rainfall, and even humidity, and I believe Uruguay is a relatively poor country too.

I was actually considering Brisbane, but again, humidity might be a bit of a challenge; I'm more of a 40s/50s dew point guy.

(I like the fact that the record lows are close to the averages; no freak 60/45 summer days there! )

Uruguay is one of the best South American countries to live in, if not the best.
