Which Northern Hemisphere city has the most similar climate to this?
Spring: Highs around 50, lows around 25
Summer: Highs around 65, lows around 35
Fall: Highs, again, around 50 and lows around 25
Winter: Highs around 35, lows around 15
Place is Mount Bogong, the highest point in Victoria, Australia.
Koppen is Cfc (subpolar oceanic climate)

First and foremost, there is no official BoM climate data for Mount Bogong. Perhaps you are thinking of Mount Hotham, which is the highest Victorian station at 1,849 m AMSL:  Using the more sensible < 0° C threshold, it's subantarctic ( Dfc) rather than Cfc. As for a Northern Hemisphere equivalent, the closest one can get to Mt. Hotham would be somewhere in near-maritime Central Norway; latitudinally straddling 63°–66° N along the coastline (slightly inland). Summer diurnal range, however, is a major obstacle—not to mention variability differences. Precipitation patterns do match quite closely; both feature winter precipitation maxes, with the grand majority falling as snow. |

Bodø is similar.

Koppen is Cfc (subpolar oceanic climate) Difficult in Norway/Scandinavia. The lows you mention in the warm season are very cold and hard to match. Also the diurnal range in winter is hard to match at a coastal station. Would look at altitude/mountains, perhaps some place in western Canada/PNW US.
Here is Bodø inside the Arctic Circle, 67N.

The climate data are absolutely fraudulent—I've got no idea whence he even sourced such data. I've displayed the official BoM data above in my previous post. But, yes, Bodø is a near-perfect match; albeit farther north than I thought. |

When Bodø get the roughly same base period (1991-2020) as the data for Mount Hotham, Bodø will get four months with mean 10C+. Hotham seems to have two or perhaps three, depending on Dec mean.
Hotham is also somewhat wetter, but with slightly fewer precip. days.
