What's perfect weather to you? To me it's low twenties/low seventies during the day, high teens/low sixties during the night, mostly sunny, random showers during the business hours but not on the weekends.
Maximally sunny. That brilliant blue sky with absolutely everything bathed in light. I don't care if it's 40°C and the land is sere, baking and withering, or it's wet and humid and everyone sweats even at rest in the shade. Give me a good wind on top of it and that's my day. Just the sky and me. I put on my floppy hat and shorts and a backpack full of water, and off I go for a day of hiking, alone with the world.
Maybe I just enjoy heat stroke.
I think 40C and 100% humidity is literally deadly, since sweating no longer can cool you down.
Maybe? Going outside in that kind of heat hasn't killed me yet, but I suppose the humidity must've been lower than 100% then. Or, I suppose, I make enough use of wind, shade and bodies of water to keep my temperature viable. Either way the 40°C alone are doable, at least here in the German summers.
But really, it's the sun that matters the most, not the heat. The heat is just a useful additional factor that allows me to dress light, and keeps the outdoors largely depopulated so I have it to myself. But what really makes good weather to me is the blue sky. I can tolerate a few tasteful clouds here and there, but by and large I want that giant open void overhead.
