I live here by force because I'm in high school.

Basically what that is, is only one true month of summer, but comfortable to cold the rest of the time (comfortable being below 90). Just mixed it up on accident.

Nothing wrong with that; these are meant to be dreams, not neccessarily real climates.
A rapid early warm-up with delayed onset of summer actually does sound pretty cool.

Toronto has the opposite;
delayed early-spring warm-up with a typically rapid transition from mid-late Spring into summer.

Toronto averages:

Jan: 28 F
Feb 30 F (+2 F)
Mar 39 F (+9 F)
Apr 52 F (+13 F)
May 66 F (+14 F)
Jun 75 F (+9 F)
Jul 80 F (+5 F)

Even compared with Toronto,
going from 83 F in June to 90 F in July is stunning transition, especially when accompanied by a relatively-mild winter.

*Raleigh NC for example avgs no lower than 49 F in Jan, is "only" 63 F in Mar, but already 85-86 F by June.
The February is distinctly warmer than December, which is rather odd. It looks like spring starts in February instead of March.

I think there are a lot of places in the Deep South where February has higher average highs than December,
because of the longer days, higher sun and less "seasonal lag" from large bodies of winter-chilled water.

^^ I can see why you were stunned about me prefering 82 F and cloudy for the purpose of avoiding 45 F lows.

I would count 70/45 F as "...Nice, but expect cold between 10 pm and 9 am..."

The thing I found about non-summer weather in the southeastern US
is that some part of the day usually feels good for people who hate cold.

We can go precisely 6 months with zero days reaching 60+ F,
yet still have several days with lows into the 40's F, maybe past 50 F.
Sunshine is uncommon Oct-Mar and our temperatures usually change slowly throughout the day.
If it's cold in the morning, it will probably still be chilly late afternoon here.

Usually I only notice a "drastic" difference in temperature between early morning and mid-afternoon during spring and fall. It can be a chilly 42 F at 7AM, but quickly warm up to 70 F by 3PM. I really notice this in September and October.

During the summer, while 66 F (for example) in the morning may feel cool compared to say 87 F during the afternoon, many would find 66 F mild enough to go outside in a t shirt and feel comfortable. Summer mornings just feel so mild despite being on the cool-ish side. Probably the humidity plays a role.

Here it seems we can get days anytime of the year where the high fails to reach 60F.. I'm sure historically there are days in July and August where we haven't had a 60F high. It makes for some chilly days at the outdoor pool when you're not in the water.
Ironically enough, I read that they have outdoor swimming pools that are open all year round that are heated by geothermal water in Reykjavik, Iceland (64N). I think that's pretty amazing. Check out the photo

Well Toronto has heat-island-effect and a semi-maritime influence from the Great Lakes.
Probably 1/3 the maritime influence as somewhere like Vancouver.
Climates anywhere over 60 miles from a Great Lake are still dramatically more-continental, like Ottawa for example.

If we are 42 F (5 C) in the morning,
it's doubtful we will pass 65 F (18 C) and more likely we won't pass 62 F (16 C) even on a sunny day.

If we are 42 F in the morning on a cloudy day, we won't pass 59 F (15 C) almost gauranteed.

We can have that too, though highs below 60 F are exceedingly-rare for July or August.

How many months can Vancouver go with no highs reaching 60 F/16 C?
(I figured Toronto's trend out for myself, just watching forecasts, hoping for 60+ F. )

Typically, early Oct has our last 60+ F days
and we don't see them return until sometime in Apr...
