Would be interesting to transpose this onto the Americas also. I always equate Brisbane with Miami when explaining the climate to Brits who have never been here because many of them have been to Disneyworld, Florida. Temperatures year round are similar I believe as is the humid/hot summers and the drier, sunny winters.
My BiL lives in Atlanta. They too have all 4 seasons and the temperatures almost uncannily reflects Canberra, right down to the sub-zeros in winter, very occasional snowfall and long hot summers. We can pretty much guarantee that they get the opposite of what we're getting. much moreso than a comparison with the UK where we all originated from.
Where they vary is the humidity and thus the rainfall. I believe Canberra gets the better of that in that you can breathe and sleep better with cleaner air, whereas Atlanta can be insufferable in summer.
How Hot is Australia?
