Every information source I look up about Sydney's climate, it only says temperate. Temperate can mean a lot of different climate types so it's too vague of a description. So what specific climate type is Sydney?

I read that NYC and Sydney have similar humid subtropical climates. I always thought Sydney had a more temperate, idyllic climate than New England, but then I read NYC actually has cooler or milder summers! Is this true? Or an exaggeration? I can understand...

Sydney has always been labeled as an oceanic climate. But in summers, we have some very dry days (that are then humidified by southerly busters). We also had the dust storms. With that sort of weather wouldn't Sydney be close to semi-arid? When I think...

This dust storm in NSW is pretty crazy and meteorologists say they haven't seen anything like it before. Do you think it's related to climate change? How?

It's too warm to be labeled as a oceanic climate (especially in the west/inland).
