There have been times where indoors at 25-27 C without A/C and it's very muggy,
we're all sitting inside and at one point all of us felt mildly over-heated and sticky,
so we opened the porch door to cool off and hopefully dry off... (23 C with a dewpoint of 21-23 C, calm winds)
All that happened is that we went from being "very-warm and sticky" to "chilled and still-sticky."
*What we should have done is turn in a fan to dry us off without getting too chilled,
as trying to get comfy by opening the door turned out to be a stupid idea; didn't really work.
I don't know how it is in Australia, but the subtropical regions in the U.S. are very comfortable during the winter months, mostly because of lower humidity.
I live in a Subtropical Climate and our Winters aren't anything to brag about lol, they are warmer than the more Temperate/Continental areas but I'd still love to have warmer Winters, 65-80 degree highs would be the ideal Winter for me.

Don't you live near New York? That is not what I'd call a subtropical climate. Far from it. South Texas, Louisiana, Florida, those are "subtropical climates".

Yeah, it technically is a Subtropical climate but its near the Northern Boundary, our Winter highs are typically in the 40's-60's while Summer's highs are typically in the 80's-100's. I wouldn't say its far from Subtropical but I wouldn't say its the poster child for the climate either lol.
Don't get me wrong I can't wait to live around the Southern Boundary of this climate.
Back to the old.... what is Subtropical debate again... I don't think NYC has a subtropical climate anymore than London, UK and Vancouver, BC have... (average January temps are warmer than NYC)...
for me the winters are most important... I love heat.. but I love warm winters even more.... so that's the most important thing for me... if I could never see another snowflake for as long as I live... I'd be giddy with happiness...
Although New York is technically in a subtropical climate, I really wouldn't consider it that. Average highs between December and February are in the upper 30s and lower 40s. Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, etc. are truly subtropical.

Its not a debate, technically it is Subtropical but some people feel different. If I remember correctly London & Vancouver couldn't be classified as Subtropical because their Summers aren't warm enough. I don't think places like NYC should be include with places like Orlando but I also think it shouldn't be included with places like Chicago or Minneapolis either. I feel there's 2 Subtropical Climates:
Warm Winter Subtype:
New Orleans, Orlando, Houston, etc.
Cool Winter Subtype:
Louisville, Washington DC, New York City, etc.
This is just my definition, I honestly don't care what the classification is, I just want to live in a place with warmer Winters, I feel the exact same way as you, I love heat, I love warm Winters, I never want to experience snow again (although I barely experience snow as it is).
I feel the Subtropical climate is better than the Temperate climate, I need warm Winters & hot Summers.

I was visiting New Orleans in late October, most of days had many daylight hours that were "quite cool"...
I'd hesitate calling it a "warm winter" sub-type, especially with an average January high of 62 F.
I wouldn't argue with Corpus Christi and southwards or Gainesville FL southwards as "warm winter" though.
How about three sub-tropical sub-types: ()
-Warm winter; coolest monthly avg. high still 66-79 F (southern South TX, central FL)
-Cool winter; coolest monthly avg. high 56-65 F (lower Deep South, northern South TX, southern west & central TX)
-Moderately-cold; coolest months 55 F or lower (anywhere northward that still isn't quite cold enough for snow to be "normal")
