Comfortable climates with lots of extreme weather (ice, earthquakes, days)

Spain can get some pretty intense heat waves that make it into even the usually cloudy marine influenced Atlantic coast

Not aware of any extreme weather in Melbourne?

In former Yugoslavia most of the climates comfortable, but some have potential for extremes.

Podgorica, extreme heat in summer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podgorica#Climate

Sjenica, low temperatures in winter and potential for frost in summer months https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sjenic...hy_and_climate

Parg, Gospić and Ogulin, heavy snow

Požega, a lot of fog and somethimes low temperatures in winter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Požega,_Serbia#Climate

[Florida Heat]

New Orleans::Summers are like a Vietnam monsoon season.

[Florida Heat]

Lets face it. In the US only a small part of Cali has perfect weather. If you can do it Florida in the winter and Maine in the summer. Anything else you will suffer either cold and dark or hot and humid.
The cold requires extra heating equipment that the deep South doesn't. No smellly oil or dangerous gas. No dry air in winter. No early sunsets.
Here in Jacksonville the intolerable zone is from 11:30 am to 7:30 pm from June 15 to September 30. So you can go out in the morning and most nights.

The temperature fluctuations in the summer can be extreme. This is a well known 'meme' on the forum and as well as the city itself. Odd that you're not aware of it?

Besides, hailstorms, tornadoes and windstorms aren't the only 'extreme' types of weather. And I personally wouldn't say OKC is an overall 'comfortable climate? And most especially New Orleans, with its long humid summers.

The warm end of "comfortable" can be Buenos Aires, Santiago, Sydney and Los Angeles, and the cool end can be places like Portland, Rome and Seattle. Tbh, US central-southeast is a bit extreme for being 'comfortable' with their their hot humid summers and cool winters that are prone to cold snaps.

I think you like relatively warm climates.
For me (I'm cold lover), they're comfortable, because they lack extreme heat and not as cold as Yakutsk or Iqaluit. They aren't very dry / very wet too.
