I'm happy and gratefull that even Toronto's dewpoint hits 70 F at least once a year, every summer.
And 7 inches every month?
Only if that means no more than 10 hours of rain per month.
(and 7 inches in Ontario would probably equal 50-60 hours of rain )

Mine would be 90% brilliant sunshine with just enough rainfall on no more than one or two days per month to keep the fire danger out of the "extreme" catagory. Daytime highs would range from low-mid 70's (22 to 24 in metric) in early June to around 83 or so (28 or 29) in mid-July through August. Night time minimums would be in the mid 50's (low teens). As a change of pace a short hot spell or even two with temperatures edging near (but not past) the century mark (37 or thereabouts) would be nice. Wouldn't want that to last too long, though. There should be some wind but constant breezes of more than 15 mph (6 to 7 m/sec) would be a drag.
The Pacific Northwest often has Septembers that are a little warmer than our Junes so I would want that to continue clear 'til the equinox. We actually get weather like that on a good portion of our summers and it is for that reason, almost alone, I can tolerate the swill we get for our weather from November until early or mid April.
70 - 80. We need rain, of course, but hopefully only when I am sleeping.
I like the way you think!
Although I wouln't mind an ocassional daytime thundershower to spice things up a bit.
I just hate when it rains or stays overcast for days on end

Those summers you described sound a lot like Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
I'm hoping for a summer with no high temperatures about 115 and nor low temperatures above 92 or 93. I hope that we have a monsoon season that gives us periodical heavy thunderstorms and rain, but a season that doesn't last more than a couple weeks.
My ideal summer day would have highs around 106-107 with lows around 85 or 86 under mostly clear skies.

We can get 2 to 3 inches in one single thunderstorm although 1 to 1.5 is more normal.
