Mine is easy. Newcastle AU. Has to be the most perfect humid subtropical climate on earth. And no, and I mean no, Arctic blasts. Stable in winter probably matched no where else. Australia is the land of mutiple dream climates for me cause every one has winter stability.

Why are you forgetting about South Africa, Brazil, India, and China, which are stable, as you say?
The reason the records are so wild is that there is a 228 year observation period. Temperatures over halfway between the mean maximum/minimum and record high/low for a month typically occur less than once every 15 years.

So out of the complete climates yet posted the average 'July' temperatures stand at 29.2/17.7 and the average 'January' temperatures stand at 7.1/-2.5 if looked at from a NH perspective
With an 85.5 mm precipitation for July it certainly looks like a poleward humid subtropical climate on an east coast of a large landmass!
Nearest realistic climate is probably Dover, Delaware.
Here's my climate, located on the east coast of Australia or maybe somewhere in Uruguay. I realize now that I made this that the temperatures are in the northern hemisphere but bear with me lol, just imagine the seasons are flipped around
In Australia it could be any east coast climate. It's probably a big city, like 15 or 20 million people, with a massive UHI effect. A big mountain immediately to the south blocks any arctic air that manages to make its way through, and the ocean to the east moderates winter temperatures. In June and July temperatures are between 15-17c every day, on very rare occasions an arctic blast will "drop" the daytime temperature to 10-12c for a couple of days. Temperatures very rarely go above 18c, so everyone can enjoy a couple of months of sweater weather
Springs are sunny and drier than the other seasons and warm up very quickly. Summers are hot, but not muggy. A few times a year hot air from the Outback rushes in and causes an intense heat spike, but those only last a couple of days before the temperatures fall back to around 30c. Falls are mild and rainy, with warm nights
Oranjestad, Aruba comes very close... my only small complaint is averages are slightly too warm. Knock 2C off temps and it would be perfect
