If we are talking ideals and not reality,
I'd like the sun to always feel 30 F (17 C ?) warmer than the shade,
but still maintain a U.V. level of just "4", so I never get sunburnt.

So while dressed in white,
at 65 F (18 C) the sun should feel about body-temp
and passed 80 F (27 C), the sun starts to take on a "searing" quality.

lol for me it's more of a 'mood enhancer' rather than forgetting about my cold and cloudy reality!

It was one night of 25C, not the apocalypse.

Then you are indeed more luckier than I thought, not having to put up with humid and 20oC + nights. It was in the middle of a heatwave if you must know. The following night, the minimum was only 24.8oC, in fact the minimum did not drop below 20oC since the 20th, even the 19.9oC on the 28th was only 0.1 degrees off the 20oC mark, to the end of January. Even the maximums exceeded 30oC on 4 days over the same period with a day over 40oC. Such a horrible, tiresome and awful time as we remember it.

That would be excellent for me.
I hate distinctly cool summer nights/mornings.

So? 20C isnt "hot". Most of those days had highs of only 24-26C so you could've opened the windows to air out the house.

Oh for heavens sake, give me a freaking break.

You would've died in Melbourne - in jan we had 43.4c , 44.3c, 45.1c consequtively, with minimums of 25-29C.

Blah blah blah. I'm NOT talking about Melbourne. I'm talking about Sydney.

I just made a bit of a comparison. Settle down. A real heatwave vs normal summer weather mate. I would've liked to see you in our heat.

Sadly for me, 2-3 days at 30+ C counts as a heat wave in southern Ontario.
(which imho, should be our "average" summer weather )


** However, dewpoints under 18 C are very rare when the highs are 30+ C.
(which usually helps "enhance" the effect what little heat we do get )
