5, Europe and Antarctica are the only ones that lacks a Cfa with thundery summers, winters of my level of mildness and hot humid summers.
what's your level of mildness in winter ? Otherwise we're pretty close here (at least today considering it's 14c... ok it's snowing next week apparently)

I like winter highs between 17-21°C and mostly sunny, dry conditions. Malta has what is closest to an A climate in Europe, for my tastes, but still not quite there because it has too much rain in winter.

oh yeah, we can get these conditions by late March usually, but that's not winter
Yeah, nothing in Europe is like that. Southern Italy is mild, maybe Catania is close ?
Europe: Almeria, Malaga, Alicante, Faro, Crete... A+ and there are also other A+ climates in Europe, as well as A and A-
- Europe has also magnifient islands with A/A- climates such as Ibiza, Lampedusa, Malta, Rhodes, Pantelleria...
Africa: Lots of As here, from the Med coast, the Moroccan coast and South Africa and southern Namibia. Easily parts of coastal South Africa such as Cape Town are straight A+ as well as are some Moroccan places such as Agadir.
- Africa has the best islands, climate-wise, in the world. Madeira (A-) and Porto Santo (A) are very good, but my dream climate is southern Tenerife or Lanzarote. Dry, warm, sunny... year round! A++
Asia: Well, if we include Cyprus here as well as the Middle East, there are surely A climates in Cyprus, Lebanon and Israel. Some As in southern coastal Turkey too. Asia in general (without the Middle East) is pretty bad for my standards.
Oceania: Australia. El Dorado. The best of the best. The best continent!
- How to forget some of the delightful islands part of Oceania such as Norfolk. Another excellent climate.
North America: Californiaaaaa! Ramones - California Sun explains it easily. SoCal's coast is just amazing.
For me Mexico is central America, but well, surely Baja California is inside North America so another delightful bunch of A climates in coastal Baja California.
South America: This one is tricky, because many of the good climates are way too rainy. But then we have places like Arica where it's delightful and sunny year round. So more As here too!
- How to forget islands such as the Easter Island. Another A.
What are your thoughts on the Azores, Testarossa? Technically, Flores Island is a potential A climate in North America It's quite cloudy though, but temperatures are epic.

Sir, your likings are very similar to mine's.
After a long research I did years ago, I found as Alicante having the most similar climate to SoCal - it's the only place where not a single month has average highs under 17ºC, if we exclude Cyprus.
But what's best, is that the rainy season is during Autumn! This is my favorite climate in Europe, it's an A+, but Almeria comes close, Malaga, Faro and Crete too. I think you should check these climates.
Faro, Portugal is also a very good contender. Too bad there are few official stations in coastal Algarve, Faro has just 1 month with average highs under 17ºC and it's very sunny, which makes it magnificient!

Ponta Delgada is amazing when it comes to temperatures, not so much when it comes to sun hours and rainy days. So is Flores Island, but I would like a quicker Spring warm-up and more sun.
It's definetly a quite good climate too. But honestly, when it comes to Portuguese islands there is nothing as Porto Santo or southern Madeira. Porto Santo being my favorite - it's the driest and sunniest!

It's a shame that the Savage Islands of Madeira between the island and the Canaries are too small and rocky for human settlement, because I'm sure a climate in that position, especially on a very tiny landmass would be absolutely amazing. I wouldn't rule out it oscillating between 21-25°C highs year round with 2800 hours of sunshine, very low diurnals and with more winter rain than the Canaries. I'm sure it'd be one of your favourite climates on earth...

During winters, highs are probably around 18ºC there, with long seasonal lag. I think Madeira (well, Funchal, and the southern part of the island) has warmer highs year round, since the Savage Islands are even more affected by the Atlantic currents. This makes them very, very mild with milder extremes but also milder temperatures. Day and night temperatures oscillate just between 3-4ºC probably.
Anyways, have you heard about Bermuda? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermuda#Climate a tropical climate at 32ºN ! The very warm Atlantic southern currents arrive there. Look at this crazy stuff!

That meteoblue climate data looks nice
