I live in Perth, Western Australia

Favourite:
January- peak summer month, lots of heat and the occasional storm, lowest chance of cooler weather
February- more consistent than january in terms of temperatures, weakening sea breeze but sun hours shortening
March- cooling down slightly with 12-12.5hrs of sun a day but still very nice weather for most of the month
December- very sunny, dry and warm but the first half can be mild and changeable
November- warm, sunny and dry with long days but the sea breeze is still pretty cool and strong
April- the first half is usually pretty warm but evenings start to get cool as the days are short
October- the most changeable month, strong sea breeze dropping the temps quickly after sunset, first really sunny month after winter
May- pretty boring but a usually wet month and very consistent 21-23C partly cloudy days
June- shortest days, lowest monthly sun hours but still occasional mild temps in the first half.
July- mid winter month, coldest, wettest and can be quite windy but good for the dams and isn't annoying yet
August- same as july and winter is dragging on now
September- very similar to august and july with the occasional heat spike, annoys me quite a lot as the seasonal lag is very present. There's also lots of rain days for the amount of precipitation.

Just north of Houston here.

1. December: Cooler weather and the Christmas season. Best chance of winter weather usually, such as in 2004, 2009, and 2018.
2. January: Nearly the same as December, but recently it has seen less winter weather than December. It also lacks the Christmas season, and school starts back.
3: November: The first cool weather of the year, and the insects usually leave during this month.
4: February: The past two years this month probably brings this month down. 2017 saw many days above 79F/26C, and it culminated at 87F/30.6C. The insects will come back during this month if it is a warm February, and even an average February sees less cool weather than the two months it follows.
5/6: October/March: Insects are still around during October, and they always come back by March. They are usually at their worse during these months as they are searching and are always buzzing around, unlike the summer months, where they are usually only near their nest. I see these months as equal because October looks good in the context of less hot weather following a very hot August, and a hot September. While March doesn't look too great as it brings warmer weather following a nice set of milder/cooler winter months.
7: April: Halfway decent month, with few hot days, and many good days. The last of the cool days happen this month, but the first hot days will occur (except in 2017 when we had that abnormally hot February).
8: May: The return of real hot weather. Usually I am optimistic by this point.
9: June: End of school, and I am still optimistic.
10: September: When will this end? Usually a row of hot days at the start of the month ends what I desire of hot weather.
11: July: My optimism ends during this month, and it is very hot. It is worse than September due to the fact that September is more likely to have decent days.
12: Hottest month of the year here, and by then I am growing tired of hot weather. Temperatures are basically never below room temperature during August and July.

This is pretty spot on for where I live (Southern California) but I would move October way down to #11. October is still hot, still dry, and I'm sick of dry heat by then.
