Interesting thread idea....if I thought the data was easy to find without a huge amount effort I would do it for Alice Springs
But by the month is easy enough for the Alice Springs Airport ( since 1941 ) highest max and lowest min by the month

January:- 35.6c ( 45.6c/10.0c )
February:- 36.2c (44.7c/8.5c )
March:- 36.6c ( 42.7c/6.1c )
April:- 38.5c ( 39.9c/1.4c )
May:- 37.2c ( 35.5c/-2.7c )
June:- 37.6c ( 31.6/-6.0c )
July:- 39.3c ( 31.8c/-7.5c )
August:- 39.8c ( 35.7/-4.1c )
September:- 39.8c ( 38.8c/-1.0c )
October:- 41.3c ( 42.6c/1.3c )
November:- 41.4c ( 44.9c/3.5c )
December:- 36.4 ( 45.7c/9.3c )

So then the figures re lowest max temps and highest min temps by the month

January:- 17.0c ( 16.2c/32.8c )
February:- 15.0c ( 16.7c/31.6c )
March:- 14.7c ( 14.9c/29.6c )
April:- 14.1c ( 11.8c/25.9c )
May:-13.0c ( 9.6c/22.1c )
June:-14.0c ( 7.7c/21.8c )
July:- 13.0c ( 7.0c/20.4c )
August:- 16.0c ( 7.0c/23.1c )
September:- 16.0c ( 11.6c/27.4c )
October:- 18.0c ( 11.7c/30.0c )
November:- 19.0c ( 12.8c/31.3c )
December:- 14.0c ( 17.1c/31.0c )
