Melbourne is mostly a low humidity climate, so I find 18 C quite
pleasant in winter, but will probably need it higher as I get older. In
summer I rely mostly on sea-breezes to keep the house cool and have good
all round windows to take adantange of changes. Mostly the temperature
stays between 20 C and 24 C which I am happy with. We do get humid
weather at times,more oftent han we used to, but not often enough to
worry me and turning the heat pump on with a humidity reduction setting
works for that.
