I have to laugh, living in NE Wisc. where our summer temps are rarely what you would call summer temps. Last summer was the exception, but generally our average is 76, lows around 50 very common.
Someone going ballistic, ranting, raving over a 50 or 70's, big deal, when you live by water, to coin an overused phrase, it is what it is, move inland.
I can only dream for that weather, that's like May here.
Our May is probably equivalent to your October, it's the last month of meteorological Spring.
May? Here that's a good June-August week in the south of England. Northern areas might not get a week as good as that at all in the whole summer. Our normal summer temperatures are the kind of thing he goes hysterical about.
Melbourne's got a pretty good climate in my opinion. Certainly not the best out there but pretty good overall. Summers while at times cool, can have periods of very hot weather. Winters are really nice with virtually no frost or snow to speak of. I know I would definitely consider Melbourne's climate a big improvement over where I am now in Vancouver.
We've been completely covered by thick grey cloud from dawn to dusk here. Although it's been a warm 28 C (courtesy of a strong Nor'wester) I would happily trade the warmth for some sunshine. A sunny 18 C is preferable to a cloudy 28 C in my view.

Count yourself lucky you weren't living there 30 years earlier. Ch'ch sunshine mean is about 100 hours higher than it used to be.
So either leave NZ - or accept reality! There's no way any place in this country could come anywhere near to satisfying you.
Probably true. I hold out some vain hope that there exists a Shangri-La microclimate somewhere in the Marlborough-Tasman region (or maybe Hawke's Bay / Bay of Plenty) that might suit my needs, but this seems highly unlikely. Hopefully at some stage in the not-too-distant future I will leave CLOUDchurch (AKA COLDchurch) for either Perth or Brisbane and never look back.
The forecast is horrible for the next three days. Wall-to-wall cloudy drizzle and we'll be lucky if the temp exceeds 20 C. We've had a very gloomy start to December, averaging only about six hours of sun per day. Hopefully this will change in the latter half of the month.

Be glad you don't live in Vancouver... we've had maybe 10 hours of sunshine in the past week if that. Granted, it's winter here but it's still not very good.
Christchurch's climate is definitely not that bad compared to a lot of other places including Vancouver
