Some Island climates around the 30* from Equator mark.... Best climate ? NORFOLK ISLAND: BERMUDA: LORD HOWE ISLAND: Climate Lord Howe Island has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa under the Köppen climate classification).[136] In general, the summers are warm and humid with erratic rainfall, but occasionally heavy, while in winter it is very mild with rainfall more or less uniform. There is a gradual transition from summer to winter conditions and vice versa.[137] Winds are frequent and salt-laden, being moderate easterlies in the summer and fresh to strong westerlies in the winter.[137][138] July is the windiest month,[139] and the winter months are subject to frequent gales and strong winds. The island has 67.8 clear days, annually.[137] Storms and occasional cyclones also affect the island.[137] Rainfall records are maintained in the north, where rainfall is less than in the frequently cloud-shrouded mountains of the south. Wide variations in rainfall can occur from year to year. July and August are the coldest months with average minimum temperatures around 13 °C (55 °F) and no frost. Average maximum temperatures range from 17–20 °C (63–68 °F) in the winter to 24–27 °C (75–81 °F) in the summer. The humidity averages in the 60–70% range year-round, becoming more noticeable on warmer summer days than in the cooler winter months.[140][141] The average temperature of the sea ranges from 20.0 °C (68.0 °F) in July, August, and September to 25.3 °C (77.5 °F) in March

Bermuda. Close with Lord Howe, but summer looks too cool and dry there.

Surprised to see I'm the first to vote for Lord Howe Island: cooler than Bermuda and more precipitation than Norfolk Island.

Surprised to see I'm the first to vote for Lord Howe Island: cooler than Bermuda and more precipitation than Norfolk Island. I've been to both Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands... worked at both places in Feb 2002 and Feb 2003, so the height of summer. Beautiful sub tropical islands. Lord Howe is home to the most southerly coral reefs in the world.

Not a fan of any of these hypermaritime climates but I'll go with Lord Howe.

Norfolk Island. Comfortable like San Diego on steroids (not necessarily a good thing imo)

Looks beautiful indeed. They are very under the radar from my POV. I guess the one I know best is Christmas Island thanks to the crab migration, which is used to coming up in documentaries, travel shows or whatever pieces of news as exotic curiosities.

Norfolk > Lord Howe >>> Bermuda IMO. Norfolk looks the sunniest and coolest of the bunch, which is important during summer nights (reduce AC usage and electricity bills). None of these are bad, however; as at least we are around the subtropical high, and not dipping into the roaring forties
