Seems to me that there are a lot of subjective variables in a ranking like this.

By the way, it was 37C and sunny yesterday in Perth. Got home from work and jumped in the pool before grilling (not shrimp) on the Barby. Suck it Calgary! And you too Sydney!
37 is aggravating. Unless you're literally by the beach AND in the water most of the day, AND don't have to work or do anything but soak up sun. But if you have to do anything but laze around, then 37 is just intolerable.

Even if you're vacation though, 37 always feels a bit too hot. 26 - 30 is ideal, while anything in the low 30's is okay if it doesn't go on for days. But anything 35+ is just killer. Maybe I'm the only one that feels this way. I notice a lot of people seem to be of the "who gives a ****, give me 40 for all I care, hot weather is awesome!" variety.
